A new name has emerged on the pitching market as MLB’s trade deadline approaches on Wednesday. MLB Network’s Jon Heyman reports the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies are looking at Cincinnati Reds right-hander Tanner Roark.

Yankees are checking in on everyone who pitches so it’s no surprise they’ve checked in on Tanner Roark (as have the Phillies).

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports the Oakland A’s also are taking a look at Roark.

#Athletics do not figure to stop with Diekman and Homer Bailey, both of whom they acquired in separate trades from #Royals. Per sources, they have explored adding another starting pitcher, with #Mets’ Zack Wheeler and #Reds’ Tanner Roark among their targets. @TheAthleticMLB.

Roark is 6-6 with a 3.95 ERA in 20 starts this season for a Reds team which is 48-55, seven games behind the first-place Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central. Cincinnati is seven games back in the wild-card race as well.

The 32-year-old Roark lost a career-high 15 games for the Washington Nationals in 2018. But he finished 10th in National League Cy Young Award voting in 2016 when he won a career-best 16 games and had a career-low 2.83 ERA.

According to Spotrac, Roark signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Reds before the 2019 season, after which he will be a free agent, meaning Roark, like New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler, could be a short-term rental for a playoff contender this year.
