The New York Yankees have a lot of talent this year, but they’re going to need to continue to add to their roster. At this point, they could use another pitcher or two, but the front office may not want to break the bank or mortgage the farm system in a trade.

With that in mind, the Yankees could pursue free agents from the bargain bin this season.

Bleacher Report’s Kerry Miller recently linked the Yankees to Philadelphia Phillies free agent pitcher Spencer Turnbull this season. Turnbull is still available in free agency following an impressive 2024 campaign.

“By this point, just about every team—either due to a litany of injuries or not doing enough in the offseason—could use a back-of-the-rotation starter who can semi-regularly go five innings without completely imploding,” Miller wrote. “Yet there sits Spencer Turnbull, ripe for the picking, while fans all over the country (and in Canada) try to tell their teams to do something about that.

“Among the 212 pitchers who logged at least 350 innings pitched from 2018-24, Turnbull’s 3.83 FIP ranks 65th, slightly better than Jack Flaherty and slightly worse than Nathan Eovaldi. And he was dynamite as a swing man last season for the Phillies, making 17 appearances (seven starts) with impressive marks until a lat injury abruptly ended his season in late June.”

Turnbull was excellent for the Phillies last season. He would be a huge addition to the back of the Yankees’ rotation or the front of their bullpen. Right now, New York is employing Carlos Carrasco at the backend of its rotation, and it could replace the veteran with Turnbull instead.
