Yankees open to MLB trade deadline talks on walk-year players
In an indicator that they are at least in partial sell mode, the Yankees have let interested teams know they are open to talking about their walk-year players — a group headlined by Harrison Bader, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Wandy Peralta and Luis Severino.
It was still possible that the Yankees might be able to make a trade for someone such as St. Louis switch-hitting outfielder Dylan Carlson, who cannot be a free agent until after the 2026 season. But a moan heard throughout the industry with the trade deadline nearing at 6 p.m. Tuesday was how high prices remained in general and how particularly steep they were for any player of quality who has control years beyond 2023.
Of the walk-year players, Peralta arguably has the greatest value to the 2023 team. He had held lefty hitters to a .091 average this season through Sunday — the lowest in the AL for any pitcher who had faced at least 60 lefty batters. None of the 67 lefties to bat against Peralta in 2023 had an extra-base hit. The Yankees’ other lefty reliever, Nick Ramirez, had allowed opposing lefties to hit .306 with an .848 OPS.
Peralta battled control problems, particularly early in the season. But his overall body of work — 2.29 ERA, .188 batting average against and familiar durability — has been excellent; and in his last 13 outings covering 10 ⅓ innings, Peralta had yielded just one run. All of that is why the Yanks would probably net a nice return in a market crying for good relievers if they decided to actually move Peralta.
