Part 7/9:
Despite being active on the hitting side, the Yankees might explore acquiring left-handed relievers, especially as they face tough NL adversaries like the Houston Astros, who feature four effective lefty relievers.
Players like Bennett Souza, Steven Gonsalves, and Trent Gisham could become potential targets if the Yankees seek additional left-handed options for relief roles.
The Search for the Right-Handed Bat
While the focus has been on pitching, the Yankees also need to acquire a reliable right-handed bat, especially to mitigate struggles of players like Jason Dominguez and others against left-handed pitching.
Potential Targets Include:
- Players like Orlando Sosa from the Phillies, if they decide to trade, given the Phillies' depth at second base and outfield.
