Patrick Corbin recently pitched the best season of his career: 3.15 ERA, 5.13 SO/W, and 4.6 WAR in 200.0 IP. For the Diamondbacks in 2018, he was durable, he was effective, and good lord, right-handed batters hit only .213 against him all year. He’s a hot commodity on the free agent starting pitching market, and you know what that means: The Yankees are lurking.
And they should be, because Corbin would be a great fit for them. GM Brian Cashman went out and got James Paxton from the Mariners already, but the Yankees haven’t hidden that they want more than two viable weapons in their rotation.
