Neither Max Scherzer nor José Berríos will be wearing pinstripes as many Yankee fans had hoped, but the Yankees did add a starting pitcher at the trade deadline Friday afternoon.
Andrew Meaney, formerly of the Los Angeles Angels, is coming east to the Bronx along with the highly regarded and sought-after “cash considerations.” In exchange, the Yankees sent Double-A pitchers Jason Junk and Elvis Peguero to the Halos.
If you aren’t intimately familiar with Heaney, you can be forgiven, as mid to back-end rotation starters who pitch on the left coast generally don’t stand out.
