The Yankees are showing interest in right-hander Carlos Estevez, according to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi.
Morosi noted earlier this week that New York had been one of the more aggressive teams talking with the reps for numerous free agent relievers during the GM Meetings — and now Estevez is the first name to be revealed.
It certainly doesn’t comes as a surprise that the defending American League champs are looking into bullpen additions early on as they could lose Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle, and Tim Hill to free agency this offseason.
Estevez is one of the top arms available and he certainly would be a nice addition coming off another strong season in which he pitched to a 2.45 ERA and 0.90 WHIP while closing out 26 games with the Los Angeles Angels and Philadelphia Phillies.
