Cortes returned from a left elbow flexor strain in time to&#8230; give up a walk-off home run to Freddie Freeman in Game 1 of the World Series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_y7pi64yau\">&#8220;With Gerrit Cole still in the fold, Cortes may be the odd man out in a rotation that also includes Luis Gil, Carlos Rod\u00f3n, Marcus Stroman and Clarke Schmidt,&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;Cortes has one remaining year of arbitration eligibility before free agency, and given that he posted a 3.77 ERA across 174.1 innings pitched, there should be quite a few suitors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_lfzh44kub\">Given that Cortes has been one of the Yankees&#8217; most reliable pitchers in recent years, it would be tough to see him leave New York on such a sour note.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A typically reliable New York Yankees pitcher could get dealt away this winter.
