Jeremiah Estrada Targeted by Yankees Amid Past Trade Interest

The New York Yankees have long maintained interest in San Diego Padres relief pitcher Jeremiah Estrada, according to reports. The right-handed reliever is entering his first year of salary arbitration following a season where he recorded a 3.47 career ERA and an impressive 34.2 percent strikeout rate. However, Estrada comes with health concerns after missing time during the 2026 season due to knee and shoulder injuries. It remains unclear if active trade talks occurred.
