The Yankees’ search for starting pitching will have to continue, as Dallas Keuchel has agreed to terms with the Atlanta Braves. David O’Brien reports that it’s possibly a one-year deal, too. For weeks rumors connected the Yankees to the left-hander, but Jon Heyman noted that the two sides were “thought apart” on finances as early as Sunday.
Keuchel, 31, pitched to a 3.74 ERA (3.69 FIP) over 204.2 innings in 2018. His groundball rate dropped to 53.7%, but he still led the league in GB%+.
