To put themselves in a position to win the American League East, the New York Yankees have made a number of wise decisions in recent months. To optimize their chances of winning a World Series, the Bronx Bombers must make a couple more transactions before to the trade deadline. Colin Keane of Sports Illustrated recently hinted that the Yankees would try to acquire left-hander Steven Matz of the St. Louis Cardinals in the upcoming weeks. “The New York Yankees are looking to fortify their bullpen in preparation for another postseason run,” Keane stated. “The Major League Baseball trade deadline is just over five weeks away, so don’t look now.

  The Yankees’ bullpen might benefit greatly from the addition of (Steven) Matz. Additionally, his starting experience gives him flexibility, enabling manager Aaron Boone to use him in a variety of positions, such as handling crucial setup innings or bridging to the closer. The Cardinals should be focused on cutting payroll and giving younger players priority, so the Yankees might use their extensive farm system to make an alluring offer to them in order to acquire Matz.
In the bullpen, the Yankees have some good players. A trade for Matz doesn’t make much sense, but they might want to go for a high-leverage arm like Mason Miller or Ryan Helsley (though Miller is extremely improbable).

Prior to spending their prospect money on a starter who is now a bullpen arm, the Yankees will have to use it on a starting pitcher. Even though the lefty had a strong season, Matz wouldn’t be much of an improvement in the Yankees’ bullpen right now.
