 The New York Yankees are actively pursuing left-handed bullpen arms, with Andrew Chafin and Tim Hill emerging as prime targets, according to Jon Heyman of The New York Post. This interest comes as the Yankees look to fill a crucial gap in their bullpen, which currently lacks a single left-handed reliever.
With only starters Max Fried and Carlos Rodón on their 40-man roster as left-handed pitchers, the team is in dire need of southpaw depth2. The Yankees have yet to sign an experienced left-handed reliever on a minor league contract. Andrew Chafin, 34, has a reputation as a durable middle-innings arm. In the 2024 season, Chafin posted an ERA of 3.51 over 56 1/3 innings between the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers. Despite a drop in performance after his mid-season trade to Texas, his extended track record makes him a compelling addition to the Yankees' bullpen. A potential reunion with Tim Hill is also on the table. Hill, who was briefly with the Yankees in 2024, recorded a solid 2.05 ERA over 44 innings during his stint with New York. Known for his ground-ball pitching style, Hill's improved control while with the Yankees makes him a promising candidate for the bullpen.
