"Yankees Make Deal for Pirates Pitcher JT Brubaker"

The New York Yankees have acquired pitcher JT Brubaker and international signing bonus money from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a player to be named later. Brubaker, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, is expected to be ready to pitch around midseason. The 30-year-old right-hander had been a steady presence in Pittsburgh’s rotation from 2020-22 with underwhelming results, but the Yankees see potential for improvement, particularly in his changeup and curveball. This low-risk move provides the Yankees with additional depth for their rotation in 2024 and beyond.
