Schreiber Joins Yankees, Stings Red Sox | MLB News

0:00On September 2nd, so the Yankees just snagged the pitcher, John Schreiber, who used to be a fan favorite in Boston. He pitched for the rest socks for three solid seasons, and now he's rocking the pinstripes after the Kansas City Royals put him on waivers. The Yankees officially added him to their roster this week, which means he could be a real problem for other teams, especially if they end up facing Boston in the playoffs. He even made his debut for New York already, throwing a clean 9th inning against the Angels to seal a win. It's kind of a perfect storm for the Yankees right now. Their bullpen has been stretched thin, and they've been missing reliable right handed arms to set up their closer, especially with another guy on the injured list. Now, the Red Sox did get some prospects back when they traded Schreiber to Kansas City. They traded him for a young pitcher named David Samman, and then later packaged Samman in another deal. So, it's not like they're kicking themselves for letting Schreiber go, but you can't deny he was pretty good in Boston. He had a low ERA, and was a reliable guy for them.

1:02Schreiber himself was still effective in Kansas City, but his overall impact was much smaller compared to his time in Boston. It's a bit of a sting for Red Sox fans to see him join their biggest rivals, especially with how things are shaping up for the postseason. Given how likely it is that the Red Sox and Yankees will meet in the first round of the playoffs, get ready to see a lot more of John Schreiber in a Yankees uniform. It's a move that could definitely add some firepower to their bullpen when it counts the most. That wraps MLB news today, brought to you with AI. I'm Cory with the story.
