The New York Yankees are interested in reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell, according to the Post’s Jon Heyman.
Snell posted an MLB-best 2.25 ERA while also leading baseball in walks. He pitched a career-high 180 innings and struck out 234 hitters, all while allowing just 115 hits.
The Yankees also know Snell from his five years pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays. The big lefty won his first Cy Young trophy with Tampa Bay in 2018. Even with the high walks, the man clearly knows how to pitch.
Snell seems an odd fit as a Yankee.
