The Yankees have a handful of high-leverage relievers heading into free agency this winter, from Tommy Kahnle to Tim Hill and Clay Holmes.
Put Kahnle in the same conversation as lefty sidearmer Tim Hill, a Yankees reliever heading into free agency with shared interest in sticking around for next season and beyond.
The right-hander was lights out to begin the postseason, but finished his October run on a sour note. Kahnle gave up two earned runs to the Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series at Yankee Stadium, taking the loss as the Yankees’ season came to a close. Kahnle proved that he has more effectiveness left in the tank — his metrics were encouraging this past season, his age-34 campaign — but the Yankees have strayed from spending big on aging relievers over these last few years.
Either way, the Yankees aren’t alone in considering Kahnle.
