The New York Yankees<\/a> have been loosely linked to Bryce Harper in the past, but everything seems a bit unlikely due to Harper being on a very good Philadelphia Phillies<\/a> team.<\/p>\n

However, Pinstripes Nation\u2019s Esteban Qui\u00f1ones suggested the Yankees could take a step in the right direction with Harper by signing his longtime friend and former teammate Rhys Hoskins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is subtle but deliberate,\u201d Qui\u00f1ones wrote<\/a>. \u201cHoskins is 33 years old and recently signed a minor-league deal with Cleveland Guardians<\/a>. Given that the Yankees just extended a 38-year-old in Paul Goldschmidt, Hoskins\u2019 age is not at all unreasonable. He brings right-handed power, postseason experience and, crucially, a close friendship with Harper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoskins and Harper developed a strong relationship during their time together with the Phillies, and both swung the bat at a very high level before Hoskins dealt with a brutal knee injury.<\/p>\n

While the suggestion is far more unlikely than it might be for some Yankees fans who want to wish for it, the idea is that bringing in a respected veteran like Hoskins could make New York a more appealing destination for Harper down the line.<\/p>\n

Of course, Harper remains under contract with Philadelphia, meaning any move involving him would require major changes down the road.<\/p>\n
