According to Jim Bowden of ESPN, the New York Yankees are “in full pursuit” of the veteran left-handed pitcher, Rich Hill.
Hill, 36, went 12-5 with a 2.12 earned run average in 20 games between the Oakland Athletics and Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016.
He struck out 129 batters all year and had an opponent’s batting average of .224 in the postseason, including six shutout innings against the World Champion Cubs in Game 3 of the NLCS.
This report doesn’t come as a surprise, we all know how badly the Yankees need a reliable pitching arm behind its questionable situation they are faced with.
