I think Brian Cashman, New York the team that wears the pinstripes should sign Blake Snell who is a free agent because he is familiar with pitching in the American League East because he pitched, started for Tampa Bay and in 2023 season he proved he can be a reliable starting pitcher in his final season in San Diego and New York the team that wears the pinstripes needs a starting pitcher to improve their starting rotation following missing out on Japanese starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto who signed with Los Angeles (Dodgers) who If he had signed with New York the team that wears the pinstripes he would have joined New York the team that wears the pinstripes rotation that a season ago included Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, Carlos Rodon, Clarke Schmidt who finished with records of 15-4 with an earn run average of 2.63 in 2023 winning his inaugural Cy Young Award. Nestor Cortes who finished with a record of 5-2 with an earn run average 4.97 before his season ended on August 11, 2023 because of a rotator cuff strain. Carlos Rodon who finished with record of 3-8 with an earn run average of 6.85! Clarke Schmidt who finished 2023 season with record of 9-9 with an earn run average of 4.64.
