KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Yankees hope to get some additions to their banged-up rotation soon and still have their eyes on free agent Dallas Keuchel. They were on hand when he threw a simulated game in front of scouts from a handful of teams in Newport Beach, Calif. on Sunday, according to a source.
A team can sign Keuchel without giving up draft compensation after next Monday, but the left-hander will no doubt need to be built up before he can help a major league rotation.
In the meantime, the Yankees could get James Paxton back this week, but Aaron Boone acknowledged the lefty may have to deal with discomfort the rest of the season.
