Adrian Morejon could give the Yankees more than a new closer

The article argues that the Yankees should target reliever Adrian Morejon, a 50‑year‑old Padres free agent who logged 86 innings with a 2.83 ERA in 2026, rather than simply replacing closer David Bednar. Morejon appeared in 76 games, struck out 107 batters (30.4% K rate) and issued only 28 walks (8.0% BB rate), adding 28 holds. He proved versatile, limiting left‑handed hitters to a .461 OPS and right‑handed hitters to a .609 OPS, making him useful beyond a traditional left‑handed specialist role. While his 86‑inning workload isn’t guaranteed for next season and his price is unknown, the piece suggests he would give New York valuable flexibility in the bullpen.
