Yanks discussing possible deal with Corey Kluber
The former Cy Young Award winner isn’t a lock to come to the Bronx yet, but there have been talks. While the Yankees’ focus throughout the 2020-21 offseason has unquestionably been on bringing back DJ LeMahieu, it has also been quite apparent that they could use more starting pitching, especially with the likely free agent departures of Masahiro Tanaka and James Paxton. Now that LeMahieu is returning, the Yankees have indeed fixed their focus on improving the pitching staff, and one name linked to them at various points all winter has bubbled up again: Corey Kluber. The...

Rays Free Agent Target: RHP Corey Kluber
Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports The two-time Cy Young winner is looking for a one-year deal, and the AL East is his likely landing spot. The Rays are coming off a six-game World Series run, but are also in something of a 90-win rebuild year. With finances tightening the Rays moved on from Charlie Morton so they could keep their core assets together, and hoped the market would come to them. The market did, and it demanded Blake Snell at a price the Rays could not refuse. The result is a good team in need of more moves. Part of that equation is most assuredly finding top...

A tale of two workouts: James Paxton vs. Corey Kluber
Photo by Tom Pennington/ Two pitchers looking to get back into form showed off their raw stuff. The Yankees seem resigned to sifting in the value picks when it comes to free agency, if they sign any free agents at all. This mandates assuming a certain amount of risk, accepting that the players in that pool are either less effective or come with greater health concerns. In that spirit, the Yankees had personnel attend Corey Kluber’s workout earlier this week. Kluber — who pitched just 36 innings over the past two seasons — threw 30 pitches, featuring a fastball...

Corey Kluber should be on the Cincinnati Reds radar for 2021
Photo by Tom Pennington/ At least, you’d certainly hope so. The Cincinnati Reds watched their Cy Young Award winning pitcher walk into free agency earlier this offseason, and to date have done zero adding-back to replace him. On top of that, they also lost a mid-rotation stalwart to free agency, too, while their presumptive #5 starter for the 2021 season is coming off an injury riddled year that limited him to just 14.1 IP. In other words, the Reds should be very much in the market to add to their starting rotation, although we’ve seen throughout the course of this...
