In an atypical turn of events this Tuesday, the New York Yankees made a significant move to fortify their pitching depth. They acquired 27-year-old right-hander Cody Morris from the Guardians, sending outfielder Estevan Florial to Cleveland in the trade. Morris, who recorded a 6.75 ERA in six relief appearances for the Guardians last season, holds a career record of 1-2 with a 3.41 ERA and 32 strikeouts over 13 MLB outings.
