Yankees show interest in Marlins pitcher Pete Fairbanks ahead of trade deadline

Pete Fairbanks has emerged as a trade target for the New York Yankees as they seek bullpen reinforcements before the impending trade deadline. Fairbanks has had a challenging season with the Miami Marlins, recording a 6.55 ERA in 34.1 innings after transitioning from the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite his struggles, he has recently improved, notching saves in three consecutive appearances. The Marlins are in the mix for a playoff spot but may consider trading Fairbanks as they reassess their roster amid a losing streak. His recent performance and the Marlins' potential willingness to sell could impact the asking price during negotiations.
