Fortunately for the Yankees, several pitching trade targets remain viable options, especially considering the return Brian Cashman could offer.<\/p>\n<p>Pitchers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=lagran000car\">Carlos Lagrange<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=rodrig000elm\">Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz<\/a> are both top-three prospects in the Yankees\u2019 system, and they look ready to contribute as early as 2026. It might be costly, but acquiring another pitcher is crucial for the Yankees with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/colege01.shtml\">Gerrit Cole<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/rodonca01.shtml\">Carlos Rodon<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/schmicl01.shtml\">Clarke Schmidt<\/a> all injured.<\/p>\n<h2>RHP Sandy Alcantara \u2013 Miami Marlins<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"Mh1ytTOoTqxqKimmvg1vVQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2215613430\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Mh1ytTOoTqxqKimmvg1vVQ',sig:'V_S9o0lbk5T8lykAX7ANW9PqcIPvRaikPJjVja-MjME=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2215613430',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been a rough few years for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/a\/alcansa01.shtml\">Sandy Alcantara<\/a>. After winning the Cy Young award in 2022, Alcantara saw his numbers dip across the board the following season. He then missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery before struggling again in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, Alcantara is not the same pitcher he once was. However, the Yankees don\u2019t need the 2022 version of him. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/f\/friedma01.shtml\">Max Fried<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/schlica01.shtml\">Cam Schlittler<\/a> forming a dominant one-two punch atop the rotation, Alcantara could slot in as the Yankees\u2019 third starter.<\/p>\n<p>Despite what his numbers might indicate, Alcantara finished the season better than he began. In August, he pitched to a 3.69 ERA in six starts. He followed that up with a 3.71 ERA in September, going 3-1 in four starts. If the Yankees trade for Alcantara, they should expect to acquire that version of him.<\/p>\n<h2>RHP Joe Ryan \u2013 Minnesota Twins<\/h2>\n<p><a id=\"cueRGpfoT2Bd1ciEbWUtQQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2225300587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'cueRGpfoT2Bd1ciEbWUtQQ',sig:'r8c_q9cu9oLcAxX6MMwgYE4wpXDmm6tYY91qhH-0v5c=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2225300587',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/sportrelay.com\/mlb\/category\/twins\">Minnesota Twins<\/a> had a fire-sale at last year\u2019s trade deadline, shipping away reliever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/d\/duranjh01.shtml\">Jhoan Duran<\/a>, outfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/b\/baderha01.shtml\">Harrison Bader<\/a>, and shortstop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/correca01.shtml\">Carlos Correa<\/a>, among others. One of the few players the team held onto, though, was pitcher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/r\/ryanjo04.shtml\">Joe Ryan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s understandable why the Twins held onto Ryan. In 2025, the five-year MLB veteran posted a 3.42 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. He also walked batters at a mere 5.7% rate, while striking them out at a 28.2% clip. That led to him striking out 195 batters, the 15th most in the league. This all happened with a fastball that ranked in the 93rd percentile, generating a fielding run value of 16.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Ryan is rumored to be available in the 2025 offseason, so the Yankees should definitely consider him one of the best starting pitching trade targets. He is one of the best pitchers in the game. The Twins, however, are far from contenders. The team should look to get what they can for Ryan, especially if \u00a0Lagrange and Rodriguez-Cruz are the return.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"FOV_yYQmRY9mJLVEXBfaDQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2207230939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'FOV_yYQmRY9mJLVEXBfaDQ',sig:'W7fjJpZqMVarhr-lEE_0uDCs95aqYm6pTxJEDmCLU8Y=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2207230939',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After reportedly being linked to Edward Cabrera, MacKenzie Gore, and Freddy Peralta this offseason, the New York Yankees missed out on all three pitchers.
