Jon Heyman of the New York Post is reporting that Tommy Kahnle is close to a deal with the Detroit Tigers, as the New York Yankees have seemed to move on from the veteran right-hander. It isn’t shocking to see his departure given the current state of the bullpen and the team’s focus on acquiring a left-handed reliever,

After missing out on the Juan Soto sweepstakes, the Yankees turned their attention to improving their run prevention. That meant bolstering the starting rotation by signing left-hander Max Fried to a record $218 million deal in free agency.
