The New York Yankees made their first big addition on Friday afternoon. Now, they can turn all their attention toward adding a talented starting pitcher.

The Yankees have established a track record over these last several years of acquiring relievers at the trade deadline. Even in 2023, when they ended up missing the playoffs, the Yankees traded for Keynan Middleton from the White Sox.

“Spencer Jones has back spasms and won’t start for AAA Scranton tonight,” posted Curry on the social media platform. “His absence from the lineup has nothing to do with a potential trade.”
