Once the Juan Soto sweepstakes concludes, the New York Yankees will likely be seeking bullpen help as the offseason progresses.<\/p>\n

The Yankees saw three key relief arms hit free agency: Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle and Tim Hill, who accounted for a total of 146.2 innings in the regular season. This trio also tossed a combined 29 innings in the postseason during the team’s run to the World Series.<\/p>\n

In addition to these three veterans, promising hurler Jonathan Loaisiga, who underwent Tommy John surgery in April, is also a free agent as well. The Yankees have checked in on Loaisiga, according to The New York Post, but it remains to be seen whether they will bring him back.<\/p>\n

Beyond breakout star Luke Weaver, who emerged as the closer in September and throughout the playoffs, the Yankees’ current roster has very few internal options that they can rely on.<\/p>\n

For that, they should target two-time All-Star closer Ryan Helsley via trade as he enters his final season under team control with the St. Louis Cardinals.<\/p>\n

Helsley, 30, is coming off another superb campaign, where he not only earned the second All-Star nod of his career, but was the NL Reliever of the Year and MLB saves leader.<\/p>\n

Helsley posted a sparkling 2.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 79 strikeouts while going 49 for 53 on save chances across 66.1 innings.<\/p>\n

The right-hander has been one of the best relievers in baseball dating back to 2022, where he has compiled a 1.83 ERA and 82 saves during this span.<\/p>\n

Given Helsley has only one more year of control heading into 2025, he shouldn’t cost too much in terms of prospects for the Yankees.<\/p>\n

The Yankees can essentially create a two-headed monster late in games with Helsley closing and Weaver reverting back to a main setup man role.<\/p>\n

Helsley is estimated to make around $8.1 million in his final year of arbitration and makes sense as a potential trade target for the Yankees this winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
