NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — File this one away for a later date.
On the surface, it doesn’t look like the Yankees need a starting pitcher, but it appears they are at least entertaining the idea of adding one by the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.
According to a report in the New York Post, the Yankees recently sent a scout to watch Cincinnati Reds right-handers Johnny Cueto and Mike Leake. Both are scheduled to be free agents at the end of the season and would seem to be the perfect candidates for teams to target as they try to bolster their rotations for the stretch run.
