The trade deadline is less than a week away, and the Yankees need starting pitching. Clearly, Domingo German isn’t going to cut it in the rotation anymore, and was finally sent down to Triple-A to work on his mechanics. In the meantime, the Yanks are trying to get back atop the AL East, and could use some pitching upgrades to make that happen.
Jon Heyman reported over the weekend that the Yankees and Marlins had briefly discussed starting pitcher Dan Straily, who currently holds a 4.02 ERA over 15 starts this season.
