With the Yankees’ offseason focus on improving the pitching staff, they will be represented Monday when former Royals closer Greg Holland throws for scouts in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Making it convenient is the GM Meetings begin Monday in Scottsdale at the Omni Resort and Spa, and the workout is scheduled for Grand Canyon University which is nearby.

General manager Brian Cashman on Thursday wasn’t shy about what he will be looking for this winter via trades or free agents.

The Yankees will be in play for free-agent closer Aroldis Chapman. Free agents can sign with any team starting Tuesday.

“I would just tell you the areas we would like to focus on is pitching, bullpen and starting pitching,” Cashman said. “I think the biggest focus will be pitching, pitching, pitching. If the winds of change come in, we will pursuit it [trades],’’ Cashman said. “All clubs know we are open-minded and aggressive. We are open to any idea that serves us. We will see where it takes us.’’

Holland, 31 on Nov. 20, had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 2, 2015, and missed all of the 2016 season. Though the back-end reliever won’t command the money Kenley Jansen and Chapman ($16 million to $18 million per year) and to a lesser degree Mark Melancon will, Holland could land a two-year contract.

Until needing surgery, Holland was among the game’s elite closers. He saved 47 games in 68 games in 2013, 46 in 65 games in 2014 and 32 in 48 games in 2015.

If Chapman returns, he would close and Dellin Betances would work the seventh or eighth inning. Adding a healthy Holland to a bullpen that includes Chapman and Betances would give the Yankees a very deep late-game trio.

Nevertheless, if Holland is looking to close games, he likely only would get that chance if Chapman signs elsewhere.
