The Yankees brought back Adam Warren through the trade market this past summer and are ready for a second helping of Aroldis Chapman’s 105-mph fastball via a five-year, $86 million free-agent contract.
Now with Dellin Betances scheduled for the eighth inning and Chapman the ninth, the Yankees are searching for bullpen help as well as a starter, an area where the trade prices are astronomical.
So, what about Justin Wilson returning to The Bronx?
The Tigers want to avoid going over the $195 million luxury-tax threshold for the 2017 season and have $179.2 million tied up in 11 players with guaranteed contracts and six players facing arbitration who might cost $12 million.
