Doval, who is under contract through next season, has had a rough year with the Yankees, recording a 4.54 ERA with a 1.41 WHIP and 39 strikeouts over 39 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. Doval is being paid $6.1 million this season.

New York acquired Doval from the Giants at last year’s trade deadline. At the time, it seemed like a great trade for New York. Doval had a 3.09 ERA with 50 strikeouts in 46 2/3 innings with San Francisco that year.

Unfortunately for the Yankees, Doval joined the long list of pitchers to struggle after becoming a Yankee. Doval finished the 2025 season by posting a 4.82 ERA in 18 2/3 innings with New York.

He had a solid performance in last year’s postseason, allowing just one earned run in 3 1/3 innings, but his regular-season struggles over the past two years were enough to convince the Yankees to move on from him.
