Report: Snell expressed interest in signing with Yankees
Reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell is open to joining the New York Yankees in free agency.
Snell has privately expressed an interest in suiting up for the Yankees, sources told Andy Martino of SNY. However, there are reportedly lots of other teams eyeing the left-hander.
Scott Boras, Snell's agent, said the pitcher isn't focused on geography when it comes to picking his next home.
"Snell has won a Cy Young both on the East and the West Coast, and in both leagues. He is open to all clubs and is seeking winning and competitive environments," Boras said, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
The Los Angeles Angels and San Francisco Giants have also been rumored to be pursuing Snell.
Last season, Snell led the majors with a 2.25 ERA among qualified starters. He recorded a career-best 234 strikeouts with an MLB-high 99 walks over 180 innings (32 starts) for the San Diego Padres.
