Yankees Rumors: Speculation surrounds pair of Mets pitchers

Following J.A. Happ’s fifth-inning implosion on Thursday night, which included four walks, five hits and four earned runs in total, raising his season ERA to 4.66, the Yankees need for reliable starting pitching became that much more apparent.

Although the usually astute Adam Ottavino was saddled with the loss after allowing a walk and two hits (one was a home run), relying on the bullpen to hold the line almost every night is unfair.

Therefore, fans across the Twittersphere are clamoring for general manager Brian Cashman to acquire a pitcher that can stop the bleeding in time for Luis Severino to return sometime after the All-Star break.
