Their first order of business after being ousted from the postseason by the Boston Red Sox is to shore up the starting rotation, and the Yankees apparently have their eyes on a big-ticket lefty.
Corbin has spent his entire career with the Diamondbacks, pitching six seasons in Arizona.
It's not the first time Corbin and the Yankees have been connected. Last offseason, New York was reportedly scouting him and even had talks with the Diamondbacks about a potential trade alongside infielder Brandon Drury. A deal for Drury eventually materialized, but Corbin stayed in the desert.
It appears the lefty would welcome the opportunity to don pinstripes. A New York native, Corbin grew up a fan of the Yankees and said in April that 'it would definitely be great to play' for them.
The Yankees' rotation may be in flux, too, as both CC Sabathia and J.A. Happ are free agents and Sonny Gray is coming off a year in which he pitched to a 4.90 ERA in 130 1/3 innings. Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka appear to be the only sure things heading into next season.
The 29-year-old Corbin had a career-best campaign in 2018, going 11-7 with a 3.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 11.07 K/9. It also marked the first time since 2013 that the southpaw managed to throw 200 innings in a single season. Corbin then underwent Tommy John surgery, missed the entirety of 2014, and has been working his way back to top form since.

This isn't that great for the Yanks. I wouldn't be too thrilled with this.
Corbin has been a foregone conclusion for a while.
Is he an ace? No. Is he the best free agent pitcher available by a mile? Yes, unless Kershaw opts out. I do not want a makeshift rotation next year.
I like Corbin. I don’t know of his ground ball rate this year is sustainable but it is a good trend. I am good with this.
Something I saw in writing for the first time today which I have been thinking about for a couple weeks. Trading andujar for pitching and signing manny. I think that is a legit possibility.

There was talk amongst people for DeGrom to be traded for Andujar and a few other prospects.
The Yankees don't need Machado.
Also add a full run to his era for switching leagues.

If andujar can be the center piece of a degrom trade they need to do it and sign machado, I think. They need pitching bad and where else is it coming from?
i don’t think a full run is accurate these days but Yeah, it would obviously be higher

I'd be very surprised if the Mets traded deGrom to the NYY. When was the last time those 2 teams made a trade?

Never, but at some point that gotta do what’s right for them and not worry about the team across town and the rookie of the year is a decent start
and nacho cheese slapped on my Rangers jersey at TD Garden.
Sorry Dan, I just thought you wanted some cheese for your pretzel and I slipped on the delivery. And it wasn't nacho cheese, it was fromunda cheese.
That explains the stench.
Yummy! Australian cheese!
Everyone loves a Vegemite and fromunda cheese sandwich.
With or without the crust?
The crust is the best part.
So are you buying wings and beer tonight? @Poncier wants to know. Make sure to send @Cliffy6745 pics of the celebrationxx

Just to be clear the talk was amongst friends and talk radio about DeGrom. If you brought it up to any Met fan it was 50/50. The argument was all the same "why give up our best player?" or "let's get a load of prospects and start over!"
The Yankees are stacked and could do a trade like that.
The Yankees also have a few in their farm team that they could bring up that they've been grooming, The "A's" as I've called them before Acavedo and Abreu.

The New York Yankees are already planning for the offseason.
Their first order of business after being ousted from the postseason by the Boston Red Sox is to shore up the starting rotation, and the Yankees apparently have their eyes on a big-ticket lefty.
New York is expected to target starter Patrick Corbin this offseason, sources told Jon Heyman of Fancred Sports.
Corbin has spent his entire career with the Diamondbacks, pitching six seasons in Arizona.
It's not the first time Corbin and the Yankees have been connected. Last offseason, New York was reportedly scouting him and even had talks with the Diamondbacks about a potential trade alongside infielder Brandon Drury. A deal for Drury eventually materialized, but Corbin stayed in the desert.

sanchez, Voit/Bird, gleyber, didi, manny, Gardner, hicks, judge, Stanton.
the only issue is that they need more lefties in that lineup bad, but that is a good team
