Yankees Eyeing Bullpen Upgrade in Free Agency

High-profile relievers including Josh Hader, Hector Neris, and Robert Stephenson are potential options for the team.

The New York Yankees are looking to upgrade their bullpen, with several high-profile relievers still available in the free agency market.
All-Star closer Josh Hader, who had a career year with the Padres in 2023, has been linked to the Yankees, but his signing would be the most expensive option.
Other potential options for the Yankees include Hector Neris, who had a stellar season with the Astros, and Robert Stephenson, who had a breakout season with the Rays.
The Yankees have also been in touch with Wandy Peralta and Keynan Middleton, both of whom have previously played for the team.
The Yankees had a league-best 3.34 reliever ERA in 2023, and despite the potential departure of some key players, they still have a variety of weapons at their disposal.
