PHOENIX - The greatest free-agent class in baseball history just got a whole lot better, and you better believe the New York Yankees are paying close attention.
The Yankees, who are getting below the $197 million luxury tax for a reason, know all about the marquee names who will be free agents in November: Manny Machado, Bryce Harper and Clayton Kershaw.
But there's another player out there who has their office buzzing.
He happens to be a New York kid who grew up worshipping the Yankees, whose family is several generations deep in Yankee fandom, and who dreamed one day of pitching for the Yankees.
The name is Patrick Corbin, who pitches for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
And right now, he may be pitching better than anyone in the game.
Corbin is 4-0 with a 1.89 ERA, leading the major leagues with 46 strikeouts, ranking third with a .140 opponent's batting average, and fourth with a 0.66 WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched).
He also happens to have the nastiest slider in the game, with opponents barely able to even make contact, swinging and missing at 33.1% of them this season, according to Brooks Baseball.
"I don't think I've seen a slider like that since Steve Carlton,'' says Rick Schu, San Francisco Giants assistant hitting coach. "I mean, it just disappears.''
Im not sweatin' this bullpen. The braves have been surprising so far, but we all know this isn't a .600 team. This is the year for experimentation! I've seen all i want to see from Freeman and Moylan, they are toast. I'm also rooting for a vizcaino trade to a contender who needs an 8th inning guy.
Thing is, the bullpen is really good when we throw strikes. The walks are killing us.
Throw. The. Ball. Over. The. Plate.
What else would the Angels need to package with Trout and Ohtani to trade for Didi?

Good times.Remember when they ranked top SS in the game and Didi wasn't even top 10? I remember.
He's second behind Alexander Emmanuel Rodriguez.
Take that Houston and your ridiculously talented team!!!!!
Disclaimer: I wholly expected to get destroyed this series.
Mariners one step closer to the cellar
Giants have more outfields in the minors performing well too. What a time to be alive.
