The New York Yankees are a team to watch very closely during this offseason.
After another poor postseason, there is an expectation that the Yankees are going to be among baseball's busiest teams this offseason in free agency.
When looking at the Yankees' roster, one area that they should be aiming to improve is their bullpen. Because of this, the Yankees are now being linked to one of this year's best free agents.

In a recent article for ESPN, MLB insider Jeff Passan urged the Yankees to sign star relief pitcher Adrian Morejon in free agency.

"The best of the bunch, though, would give them the sort of weapon manager Aaron Boone needs: a multi-inning reliever slinging some of the game's nastiest stuff. Spending on bullpen help is tricky, and the Yankees must do plenty more to address all their deficiencies, but landing a top-5 reliever in the game is a pretty good place to start. Sign left-handed reliever Adrian Morejon," Passan wrote.
Seeing the Yankees being urged to sign Morejon is entirely understandable. Their bullpen could use a boost, and this will only be more of the case if they are unable to re-sign star relief pitcher David Bednar. Thus, it would make all the sense in the world for New York to bring in Morejon this offseason.
If the Yankees signed Morejon, he would give them an elite setup man for their bullpen. This would be huge for New York, so it would not be shocking at all if he ends up being one of their top targets in free agency this year.
Morejon appeared in 76 games during the 2026 season with the San Diego Padres, where he had a 9-3 record, a 2.83 ERA, and 107 strikeouts. He has also had a 2.83 ERA or lower in each of his last three seasons.
With numbers like these, Morejon would be a game-changing addition to New York's bullpen if signed. It will be interesting to see if they can land him from here.
