Yankees among teams checking in on Jonathan Loaisiga after injury-shortened season
Asked this week about the Yankees’ top priority this offseason in the non-Juan Soto division, Hal Steinbrenner cited pitching.
In that spirit, the club has kept in touch with a valuable, high-leverage arm who has only known major league life as a Yankee.
The Yankees were among a handful of teams that sent a scout to see Jonathan Loaisiga this week, a source said Saturday, as the right-hander recovers from UCL surgery that ended his last guaranteed season in The Bronx in April.
Seven months after surgery, Loaisiga is throwing from 90 feet in Houston and said to be “feeling great,” aiming to begin throwing bullpen sessions in January.
Jonathan Loaisiga of the New York Yankees throws a pitch during the sixth inning against the Astros on March 28, 2024.
A 30-year-old who has hit the open market for the first time, Loaisiga’s walk year lasted just four innings.
