In recent days it has become known that The New York Yankees would be interested in signing Cuban Yasiel Puig, heading to the 2021 MLB season, looking to improve his options to cover his ground. However, a recognized the journalist denied rumors that the Yankees will go for Yasiel Puig’s signatureWell, according to their sources, there is no indication of this in the Bronx offices.
The New York Yankees were on the list of possible teams that Yasiel Puig could “land” on. But MLB Network journalist and specialist Jon Heyman of the MLB Network reported that “there is no evidence that the Yankees have an interest” in the outfield.
Jim Bowden, former general manager of Major League Baseball and now a commentator for CBS Sports, said the Bronx Bombers were interested in Puig, joining teams such as the Kansas City Royals and Miami Marlins. But it doesn’t seem to be.
While Yasiel Puig, who has seven years of experience in MLB, could provide depth to the Yankees line, Heyman notes that the team is looking for left-handed hitters rather than right-handed players because it already has many of them on the roster.
The Cuban outfielder is a free agent because his one-year contract with the Atlanta Braves ended at the end of the 2020 season, which he could not play because he tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
