A $300m Agreement Has Been Reached Between The Red Sox And Yankees

It is likely that the New York Yankees will add one or two bullpen pieces before the start of Spring Training. Currently, New York is in a far better position than it was at the close of the 2023 campaign. Although the Yankees appear prepared to contend for a World Series championship in 2024, strengthening the bullpen remains a top concern. Several pitchers in free agency have been linked to the Yankees, including potential reunions with Wandy Peralta and Keynan Middleton. There’s still some time, so it wouldn’t be astonishing if a deal was reached quickly.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, former Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Ryan Brasier is one player that has surfaced as a potential option for New York. “The Yankees, currently focused on bullpen pieces, have talked to Héctor Neris, Phil Maton, Ryan Brasier, and Wandy Peralta,” Heyman stated. However, it is said that they are offering low bids, maybe as a result of the calendar or a perception of supply and demand. They might instead bring back Keynan Middleton, as stated by Jack Curry of YES. He would be less expensive.”

To put it mildly, Brasier’s 2023 season was somewhat unpredictable. Before being released, the 36-year-old had 20 appearances for the Red Sox and had a 7.29 ERA. After joining the Dodgers, he gradually made his way back to the major leagues, finishing with an astounding 0.70 ERA in 39 games with Los Angeles.
