The Yankees have recently been connected to several former Yankee pitchers this offseason. We’ve heard that they want to bring Aroldis Chapman back and have shown some interest in lefty Boone Logan too. There is also another former Yankee available who the Yankees know well. Joba Chamberlain was released by the Cleveland Indians on July 10th last season but he is reportedly working out and throwing for teams now. The Yankees will probably do their due diligence and scout him but a reunion really doesn’t seem like a good idea for either party.
Ten years ago, the Yankees drafted Joba Chamberlain with a supplemental draft pick that they received as compensation for Tom Gordon signing with the Philadelphia Phillies.
