Part 10/11:

Final Thoughts

The coming weeks will be telling as to how aggressively the Yankees and Cubs pursue Amayi. Given their history of signing top-tier pitchers, and considering the strategic fit, both organizations are likely to push hard for his signature. The main hurdles will center around the financial negotiations and the team's willingness to operate beyond their comfort zone regarding the luxury tax.

In the end, Amayi's choice will hinge on which team can offer not only the best financial deal but also the opportunity for him to showcase his talent on the biggest stage. With the right moves, he could be a transformative addition for any of these teams, especially the Yankees—who are actively seeking to bolster their rotation and bolster their championship hopes.
