Phillies reliever Jeff Hoffman draws interest from Yankees as free agency approaches
The Philadelphia Phillies will see key players enter free agency this winter, including All-Star reliever Jeff Hoffman. Hoffman had a standout season in 2024, posting a 2.17 ERA in 68 games, marking his best performance in nine years. Analysts suggest the New York Yankees should pursue Hoffman to strengthen their bullpen, which struggled in the second half of the season. The Yankees are expected to focus on budget-friendly relief options as they also aim to re-sign star player Juan Soto. Hoffman’s successful track record makes him a desirable candidate for teams looking to enhance their pitching staff. His potential departure from Philadelphia could create opportunities for both him and the Yankees.
