It sounds like the New York Yankees are interested in bringing in a former All-Star to help out at first base.
New York will be without the services of first baseman Anthony Rizzo for the foreseeable future after suffering a freak injury. There already was speculation that the Yankees were interested in acquiring a new first baseman thanks to Rizzo's struggles but not it seems like a necessity., but it sounds like they are interested in adding depth before that.
"With Anthony Rizzo sidelined for at least the next eight weeks due to a right forearm fracture, the New York Yankees are among the teams expressing interest in free-agent first baseman Garrett Cooper, according to sources," Murray said. "Cooper, 33, was recently released by the Red Sox after only 24 games in Boston, where he slashed a mere .171/.227/.229 with a .455 OPS, zero home runs, and five RBI.
"He was much better with the earlier in the season, recording a .270/.341/.432 slash line with one home run and six RBI in 12 games, and would add organizational depth at first base as well in the outfield." His numbers weren't great with Boston, but he did have success with Chicago this season and has one All-Star nod under his belt. Don't be surprised if his name pops up again soon.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on basketball and baseball.
