Trade Details
PIRATES ACQUIRE VETERAN LHP PHIL COKE Thursday, September 22, 2016
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired pitcher Phil Coke from the New York Yankees for cash.
What does it give the Pittsburgh Pirates?
The Pirates are desperately trying to get into the National League postseason via the Wild Card route, so adding Coke may give them a little more bullpen depth down the stretch. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
What does it give the New York Yankees?
The Yankees have purged their bullpen over the course of the 2016 campaign, with Coke being just the latest in a long line of transactions involving veteran relievers. New York is playing for next season at this point.
Fantasy Impact
Coke does not have much fantasy value at this point in his career, regardless of his team or role in Major League Baseball.
