There's a new team in the mix for San Diego Padres reliever Brad Hand:
Add the #Indians to list of teams with interest in #Padres closer Brad Hand. He's signed for $6.5M and $7M the next two years, with a $10M club option for 2021. So he could be a nice hedge against Andrew Miller and Cody Allen leaving through free agency. Price very high, though.

Earlier Tuesday, the New York Post reported renewed interest in Hand by the Yankees:
The Padres are getting a lot of hits on starter Tyson Ross and several relievers, notably Brad Hand and Kirby Yates.
