The New York Yankees are actively pursuing starting pitching to bolster their rotation, with Milwaukee Brewers' Freddy Peralta emerging as a prime candidate. Peralta’s impressive 2.69 ERA and durability make him an attractive option amidst the Yankees' struggles following Gerrit Cole's injury. Meanwhile, Aaron Civale also surfaces as a potential addition, though he has had inconsistent performances this season. Civale’s connection with Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake might facilitate a trade, but the Yankees' immediate need for a reliable starter makes Peralta the focal point of their interests.
