New York Yankees News/Rumors: Will the Yankees go after Jack Leiter in July?

The New York Yankees were graced for several years to have Al Leiter pitch for them. He started his career with the Yankees in 1987 and pitched for them until he was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays in 1989. He pitched for four teams, including the Florida Marlins, before becoming a star pitcher for the New York Mets. But in 2005, Leiter came back to the Yankees, where he finished off his 19-year career. Leiter would later go on to be a broadcaster and commentator for the Yankees with the YES Network.

I really liked Leiter’s commentary because few could explain pitching mechanics and analytics better than he.
