This acquisition could bolster the Yankees as they prepare for the challenges leading up to the trade deadline.
The Yankees are exploring options to navigate the remainder of the season, anticipating potential setbacks. The Pirates have emerged as a potential trade partner, offering a solution to strengthen New York’s pitching lineup in their pursuit of a championship.

“Keller’s name has been most frequently linked to the Yankees, and momentum seems to be building,” Hiles reported, highlighting the Yankees as a leading contender among other franchises vying for the veteran 29-year-old pitcher.
