One person the Yankees should consider signing is Lance McCullers Jr.
McCullers Jr. is currently a free agent after getting released by the Milwaukee Brewers earlier this season.

The two-time World Series Champion had spent the first 8.5 seasons of his career pitching for the Houston Astros.
He made the 2017 MLB All-Star Game.

While McCullers Jr. is far from his prime, he has a lot of experience (and would be a low-risk option).
Over 156 career games, the 32-year-old has gone 53-40 with a 3.85 ERA.
