Yankees Among Clubs Looking To Land Ex-Blue Jays Flamethrower In Free Agency

It sounds like the Yankees are looking to land the former Blue Jays rising star fireballer

The New York Yankees are looking to add to the bullpen this offseason.

New York has been known for its strong bullpen over the last few seasons but may lose a few of its top relievers this offseason. Fireballers Keynan Middleton and Wandy Peralta are free agents and although there have been rumblings that New York is interested in a reunion, it's unclear. 

Even if the Yankees miss out on Middleton and Peralta, though, there are some other intriguing options available in free agency.

One player who has been mentioned as a possible option for the Yankees is former St. Louis Cardinals and Toronto Blue Jays fireballer Jordan Hicks, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.

"Josh Hader is still out there," Morosi said. "Robert Stephenson is still out there. Jordan Hicks who probably on the 26th of December could throw a ball 200 miles per hour on this day if he wanted to is still out there as well. There are still some teams that are very aggressive in this area and our own Tom Verducci has talked about the (Los Angeles Dodgers) as not being done yet. They still may make a move for Josh Hader.

"The (Los Angeles Angels) we know are very involved in the bullpen market. The (Texas Rangers) have been in there and involved in the bullpen market. So have the Yankees. I think that group of very aggressive teams could account for these three names that I have mentioned." 

Hicks has been linked to the Yankees on multiple occasions already this offseason and it sounds like a move could be a real possibility. The free-agent reliever market is expected to pick up in a major way and it sounds like New York is going to be busy.
