However, their final spot is still a question mark, and injuries have been prevalent.<\/p>\n<p>Fansided\u2019s Rucker Haringey believes he has a solution, and urges the Yanks to pursue a reunion with former Cy Young candidate Michael King.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiving Michael King up in the Juan Soto trade was a painful choice for Cashman and the front office. Now, New York has a chance to bring the versatile right-hander back to the Bronx for a second tour of duty\u2026Knowing that King can handle the heat of pitching in New York should give Cashman more comfort in making an aggressive bid for his services. A short-term deal that gives King a chance to get back on the open market could be best for all involved,\u201d Haringey wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This past season King was dealing with injuries, but he still posted a 5-3 record, 3.44 ERA, 76 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.200 over 73 innings pitched. He would fit in great at the end of the rotation, and has experience as a Yankee already.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In his tenure with the Yankees, he posted a 3.38 ERA, 282 Ks, and a WHIP of 1.191 over five years. With that in mind, being a fourth or fifth man in the rotation would work perfectly for him.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the Yankees listen, and go out and reunite with their old friend.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would be a most welcome reunion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":118001,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-117990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
