Yankees Reuniting with RHP Makes Too Much Sense

New York Yankees

With rotation help now running parallel to third base as the New York Yankees’ most pressing needs at the trade deadline, perhaps they could call up the Athletics and look to pry away a familiar face in Luis Severino. Severino began his stint in the Yankees’ organization upon signing as an international free agent in December 2011. The right-hander became one of the top pitching prospects around the league in short order, evidenced by the fact that MLB Pipeline (No. 23) and Baseball America (No. 35) both ranked him fairly high before the 2015 campaign. Severino ran into a sophomore slump of sorts in 2016 with a 5.83 ERA in 22 appearances, but the Yankees would see him blossom into a high-level pitcher in no time.
