Yankees news/rumors: Blake Snell would be perfect fit with Gerrit Cole, trade incoming?

The New York Yankees are preparing to make an aggressive push to find a number two starting pitcher behind Gerrit Cole, and while reports have indicated they could bring back Masahiro Tanaka or James Paxton, they might be better off finding a more refined player with upside.

A report indicated that Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Blake Snell could be on the trade block, and the Yankees should 100% be asking Tampa what they need to give up to acquire him. This past season, Snell earned a 3.24 ERA, a 49.2% ground ball rate, and 11.34 strikeouts per nine innings.
