#Dodgers among most aggressive on Dellin Betances. After not getting Cole pivot to high-end relievers coming off problematic 2019s. Already signed Treinen. If both hit dynamic pen, if 1 still good, neither LAD are out after 1-yr commitments.

The Yankees and Gardner have always been mutual in wanting to keep the partnership. Gardner performed well in 2019, so it is no charity case. And with especially Sabathia, but also Didi and possibly Betances/Romine gone, Gardner’s leadership also is vital.
