How About Matthew Boyd On The Yankees?

I don’t know.

Look, the Yankees definitely need a pitcher.  Hopefully someone that can really pitch, and no more guesses… like James Paxton for instance.  And remember Sonny Gray? That didn’t work out either. Plus, you have Luis Severino hurt and Domingo German joining him.  So there is a call to action. We need help. But who?

Jon Morosi went a different route.  He threw out the name Matthew Boyd of the Detroit Tigers… and the universe has been turned on it’s head.

Check this out NJ.com writes this… giving Jon Morosi credit on an unusual idea:

“But MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports there could be a new name on the market, and he could be a good fit for the Yankees: Tigers left-hander Matthew Boyd. Detroit is getting ready to move into sell-mode since the Tigers sit 14 games under .500. “Boyd isn’t eligible for free agency until after the 2022 season … (so) the Tigers would need to be overwhelmed in order to trade Boyd, but that possibility could exist, due to the expected shortage of top-end starting pitchers on the midsummer trade market. 

The Yankees may well prefer Boyd to (Madison) Bumgarner, too, since Boyd could help them replace the retiring CC Sabathia in next year’s rotation. Notably, the Yankees have a strong firsthand scouting report on Boyd: He struck out a career-high 13 batters in a win at Yankee Stadium on April 3 this year.”

Give credit to the guy thinking outside the box. I just don’t see this.  But hey… stranger things have happened, right?

Just wanted to share… what do you think?
