MLB Trade Rumors: Top Potential Buyers for Brett Myers' Services
Brett Myers is sure to be a hot commodity as the MLB trade deadline nears.
By proving himself as a starter and now closer for the Houston Astros, Myers has added many weapons to his arsenal. Myers' versatility will definitely intrigue multiple teams.
Pitching is always a need for teams. Myers can either start or relieve for a ballclub, and trade rumors should heat up as the season continues.
New York Yankees
1 of 3The New York Yankees immediately come to mind for Brett Myers, with Mariano Rivera out for the season after tearing his ACL.
The Yankees seem to have options with both David Robertson and Rafael Soriano. Robertson has been a stellar setup man, and Soriano saved 45 games in 2010 with the Tampa Bay Rays.
But with Robertson's injury and Soriano's inconsistency as a Yankee, the team may look to Myers.
Sports Illustrated's Eric Mack brings up the possibility of the Yankees trading for Myers, and with the Yankees' abundance of money and prospects, anything is possible.
Boston Red Sox
2 of 3The Boston Red Sox clearly need a lot of help.
The team is off to another rough start, Bobby Valentine isn't the most loved guy in town and, most of all, the team needs pitching. This is where Brett Myers comes into play.
Rob Kelly of HardballChat.com insists that Boston can be a perfect fit. Myers can come in as a closer, and when Andrew Bailey is healthy, Myers can be a setup man or starting pitcher for Boston.
The Boston Red Sox make perfect sense for Myers due to their multiple needs and his versatility.
Los Angeles Dodgers
3 of 3The Los Angeles Dodgers do not have a set closer between Javy Guerra and Kenley Jansen.
If the Dodgers want to continue to contend in the NL West, they will need a veteran to rely on. Brett Myers just may be that guy.
New management in Los Angeles is here to win. With a win-now attitude, the Dodgers could make moves to improve their club.
There are no rumors of Myers being on the Dodgers' radar, but Los Angeles could be a quality sleeper team for him.
