The Next Yankee Reclamation Project
I love strategy. That’s why when teams find a reclamation project, take a risk and it pays off it makes baseball even more exciting. Every team looks for them, hell fans look for them too. The Yankees are proving this season that they aren’t afraid to gamble, and I hope it works.
It feels weird to call Troy Tulowitzki a reclamation project. He was an elite player in his days with the Colorado Rockies, but we saw a different Tulo in Toronto after his injuries held him back. The Yankees took a gamble with Tulo, and why not? Toronto is on the hook for the $37 million left on his contract with them. When they cut him loose the Yankees signed him for $555,000 and if he can be productive for the Yankees and stay healthy that will be the best money spent. No risk, and high reward. It’s what teams and fans salivate over.
But Tulo isn’t the only reclamation project, there’s another guy who has already worn the Yankee uniform. Remember Tommy Kahnle? I prefer to remember him as the reliable guy the Yankees acquired prior to the 2017 trade deadline who was having a dominant season. He was a huge pickup because he came with three seasons of team control. The Yankees envisioned that a guy like Kahnle could help the Yankees contend not only in 2017, but beyond.
Yet here we are, as bad a Kahnle was last season he has an opportunity to earn his spot back. He’s out of minor league options so the Yankees won’t be able to stash him down in Triple-A again. I don’t think that will guarantee him a spot though, he is still going to have to earn that back, especially if the Yankees sign Adam Ottavino then there will be fewer spots to go around. I think the Yankees will keep the best arms regardless, but there are two things to consider with Kahnle.
1. He says he is finally healthy
