Yankees Trade Idea Brings In $5.9 Million, 2-Time All-Star Closer to End Bullpen Woes

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Even after losing two of three to their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox, over the weekend, the New York Yankees entered Tuesday's action with the second-best record in MLB, behind only the Detroit Tigers. But the Yankees have a problem at the back of their bullpen. First, offseason acquisition Devin Williams, at a price of $8.6 million for one year, was such a bust in April and most of May that he lost his closer's job. NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 12: Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees looks on during the game against the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium on April 12, 2025 in New York, New... NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 12: Luke Weaver #30 of the New York Yankees looks on during the game against the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium on April 12, 2025 in New York, New York. More NewManager Aaron Boone then gave the assignment to Luke Weaver, a 10-year veteran pitching for his sixth different team. But Weaver also had the closer's job down the stretch last season, seeming to find his place in the role. With four saves in September, Weaver played a crucial role in the Yankees' run to the postseason. Taking over for Williams, he picked up where he left off, saving eight games in nine opportunities. But in a June 1 game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Weaver pulled a hamstring warming up and was given a trip to the injured list. What now? According to baseball insider Mark Feinsand, a two-time All-Star closer will likely be available on the trade market. Would the Yankees target him, as insurance against any further collapses by Williams or injury flare-up for Weaver? More MLB: Red Sox Outfielder Reveals Timeline To (Finally) Return From Injury That closer is 30-year-old righty David Bednar of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who saved a National League-leading 39 games in 2023, despite pitching for a team that finished the season 10 games under .500. "Bednar struggled so much to start the season that the Pirates demoted him to Triple-A on April 1, but the reliever has been formidable since returning to the Majors on April 19," Feinsand wrote. "Pittsburgh faces a double-digit deficit in both the NL Central and Wild Card races, and with Bednar earning $5.9 million this season with one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, the time is right for the Pirates to trade him," the insider continued. The Pirates' closer has recorded eight saves this season, with a solid 3.74 ERA. Bednar's remaining full season of team control might make Pittsburgh's asking price somewhat higher than if he were simply a rental. On the other hand, his age and recent struggles mean he probably won't be worth a top prospect. The Yankees' No. 15 prospect, catcher and first baseman Rafael Flores, could headline a package to obtain Bednar. "Flores generates plus raw power and some of the best exit velocities among Yankees farmhands," according to an MLB Pipeline scouting report. "A right-handed hitter, he employs a pull-heavy approach designed to crush balls to left field, and he could tap into even more pop if he could make more consistent contact and lift more balls in the air." MLB Pipeline estimates Flores, now playing for the Yankees' Double-A affiliate, the Somerset Patriots, will be ready for the big leagues next season.

Caitlin Clark to miss 5th game with quad strain, but could start 'ramping' up

Caitlin Clark will sit out a fifth consecutive game with a quadriceps strain when Indiana visits Atlanta on Tuesday, shifting the focus to whether the Fever star will return against the WNBA champion New York Liberty. Indiana coach Stephanie White stopped short Monday of saying Clark had been cleared for basketball activities, saying the club was ready for the reigning Rookie of the Year to start "ramping back up." The Fever initially said Clark would miss at least two weeks, and it has been 16 days since Clark was injured in a 90-88 loss to the Liberty. She finished the game, saying later adrenaline likely allowed her to play with the strain. Clark told reporters last week she was targeting a Tuesday return, but said she wouldn't rush it. White reiterated the patience part Monday. The rematch with the Liberty isn't until Saturday at home, which should give Clark some decent practice time. "We're going to be smart, and we're going to be cautious and we're going to play the long game and work her back in very intentionally," White said. Clark is averaging 19 points, 9.3 assists and six rebounds in four games this season. This is the first time in her college or pro career that she's missed games. She averaged 19.2 points and a WNBA-leading 8.4 assists as a rookie. The Fever are also without guard Sophie Cunningham, who has been limited to four games by ankle injury. White ruled out Cunningham against the Dream. Indiana was 2-2 when Clark suffered the quad strain, and has gone 2-2 in the four games since. They defeated the Washington Mystics in their first Commissioner's Cup game, and then defeated the Sky, 79-52, in a surprise rout in their second Cup matchup.
