Yankees’ Shocking Move: Surprisingly Staying ‘In Touch’ with Cy Young Award Winner, A Curious Twist in the Offseason

The New York Yankees continue to be linked to one of the best pitchers in baseball.

Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell still is available in free agency and there has been plenty of speculation swirling that the Yankees could be a landing spot.

New York makes sense because of the fact that it could use more pitching, but Snell would be extremely expensive. His contract wouldn’t just be expensive but the club also would be hit with heavy tax implications.

A signing should still be considered unlikely, but New York reportedly is still “in touch” with Snell, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

“The Yankees are thinking about it, they’re in touch,” Heyman said. “They’re trying to work on it and we know they made an earlier offer but we don’t know the exact offer. It was five years but I don’t believe it was for $150 million, I don’t have the exact figure…

“They stopped talking for a second but they restarted and have been talking ever since trying to figure it out. Snell’s trying to do that bridge deal for three years with an opt-out after the first year like (Cody Bellinger) has. For the Yankees right now, they aren’t loving that idea.”

In a perfect world, Snell would be pitching for the Yankees in 2024. While this is the case, the cost likely is too high right now. It does seem like both sides have some sort of interest but the most likely outcome will be Snell signing elsewhere.
