Mets steal pitcher from the Yankees in Rule 5 Draft

The Yankees might’ve had something in Zach Greene:

Greene, a 26-year-old relief pitcher out of Jacksonville, Florida, hosted a 3.42 ERA this past season over 68.1 innings.

Specifically, he hosted a 4.20 FIP, 3.55 xFIP, a 33.3% strikeout rate, 11.1% walk rate, and 43.2% ground ball rate, giving up 1.45 home runs per nine. Greene seems to be a solid bullpen arm with potential, notably since the Yankees would’ve preferred to keep having been drafted out of South Alabama back in 2019.

Zach was slowly developing his game, spending the past few seasons rising through the Yankees’ farm system before finally reaching Triple-A.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Yankees looked to steal another prospect from a different team to fill the absence of Greene with Scranton.
