NEW YORK – Cam Schlittler has been rumored to be near the top of many wish lists as the Yankees engage in discussions ahead of Thursday’s Trade Deadline. Early in the right-hander’s big league career, it has been easy to see why.
With big-time velocity that has already produced the hardest fastballs thrown by any Yankee this season, Schlittler has shown plenty to dream upon, but he’s also still a raw talent finding his way. Schlittler was knocked out in the fifth inning in New York’s 4-2 loss to the Rays on Monday evening at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees continue to seek upgrades after bolstering their roster this past week by adding third baseman Ryan McMahon and infielder/outfielder Amed Rosario . Yet Monday marked their fourth loss in five games, and their sixth in 10 games sinc
