The bad news? Batters clubbed his fastball to the tune of a .363 xwOBA, hitting six home runs against it last season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bednar would certainly be an interesting choice for the Yankees as he has struggled more often than not. He may have turned over a new leaf after his demotion to Triple-A, but Pirates fans know firsthand his success can be very short lived.<\/p>\n<p>Smith mentions Bednar could be acquired for &#8220;low-level prospects&#8221; due to Bednar&#8217;s struggles. However, he fails to take into account that Bednar is under control through next season. He wouldn&#8217;t be a rental like Ryan Helsley, and even Helsley is projected to bring in a strong package.<\/p>\n<p>The Pirates would be looking for high-level prospects or young players in the major leagues in exchange for Bednar.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees will be looking for pitching help at the trade deadline as they look to make a push for the World Series.
