Although the Fish might want to add Pineda, the Yankees don’t seem interested in dealing him.
Michael Pineda has been the source of nigh-endless frustration since he was acquired in the now-infamous Jesus Montero deal in January 2012. First came major shoulder surgery that knocked him out for two years, and then came a pine tar suspension and more missed time in 2014. Ever since a hot start to 2015, he has been horribly inconsistent with a team-high 5.63 ERA and 27 homers allowed in the past calendar year.
At this point, the Yankees only have Pineda under control for another year and a half.
