A year ago, I advocated for the Yankees to kick the tires on an oft-overlooked, yet surprisingly effective, veteran reliever. A player like Will Harris rarely draws headlines, but with the Yankees set to lose Dellin Betances to free agency, I figured it only made sense to look at a player who had matched Betances in terms of run prevention over the past several years.
Harris is a National now, but he’s not the only rarely-considered, old relief head to hit the market in recent winters. I want to recommend another aged reliever, another who arguably should own a greater profile based on his track record.
