San Francisco Giants have Discussed New York Yankees Andrew Miller

With the July 31st non-waiver trade deadline rapidly approaching, the San Francisco Giants have reportedly had internal discussions about acquiring New York Yankees’ reliever Andrew Miller, according to FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal.

After starting the season as the closer with offseason acquisition Aroldis Chapman being suspended, Miller converted six saves before moving to the eight inning.

If the Yankees make Miller available, they could sell teams on the fact that he has two years left on his contract after 2016 and has pitched at an elite level since 2014.

With that sales pitch, Miller would not come cheap and Rosenthal wonders if the Giants would be willing to part with top prospect Tyler Beede.

After the 2015 season, in which Beede 5-10 with a 3.97 ERA in 124-and-two-thirds innings between High-A and Double-A, MLB.com rated him the Giants’ best prospect.

After not signing with the Toronto Blue Jays after being drafted in 2011, Beede was the Giants’ pick in the 2014 draft (14th overall) after leading Vanderbilt University to a College World Series crown.

Beede is the type of young, promising pitching prospect the Yankees’ minor league system lacks.
