Adam Ottavino was one of the Rockies’ most reliable bullpen arms during the past seven seasons. That reliability culminated in a dominant 2018 season in which the right-hander posted a career-best 2.43 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP in 77-plus innings.
But now, as one of baseball’s best available relievers on the free agent market this winter, his native New York is calling.
The New York Post’s Joel Sherman reports that Ottavino, who grew up in Brooklyn and now resides in Manhattan in the offseason, is a target of Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who is looking to add a couple more strikeout artists to the Bronx bullpen.
