    ...this deal makes no sense...unless of course, it's a precursor to something else.

    ...why else would the Yanx give a guaranteed $1 Mil to a guy they don't need who's a 33 year old journeyman reliever with a career ERA of 4.40 ?

    I'd rather have Mo' back at age 48, than Chapman and/or Betances.

    It's going to be an interesting year BP wise, to see whose going to rise to the surface over t/Yr. D-Rob's a FA after next yr., Chapman as you know can opt out after 019. Betances needs to have a yr of his life, prove his wildness was a fluke or not...

    I'd like to see one of t/BP youngsters develop enough take the set up & Closer Job(s) away; but don't expect to see it this year....

    veteran left-hander Wade LeBlanc to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training. The deal will pay him $1M at the big league level. LeBlanc can also opt-out of the deal at the end of camp if he doesn’t make the MLB roster.

    The 33-year-old LeBlanc was very briefly a Yankee back in 2014, allowing two runs in one inning in his only appearance with the team. He spent last season with the Pirates, throwing 68 relief innings with a 4.50 ERA (4.28 FIP) and okay-ish strikeout (19.1%) and walk (6.0%) rates. Lefties hit .216/.270/.389 (.279 wOBA) against him.

    agreed makes no sense. It's a WTF move imo.... 5+ guys competing for 1 spot.

    The Yankees have six relievers (Aroldis Chapman, David Robertson, Chad Green, Dellin Betances, Tommy Kahnle, Adam Warren) for seven bullpen spots right now, so LeBlanc will compete against Chasen Shreve and a bunch of youngsters (Ben Heller, Jonathan Holder, Domingo German, etc.) for that final reliever roster spot.

    Well Cashman has to have his one "lightning in a bottle" signing. Be thankful it's not the entire bench anymore.

    Jacoby Ellsbury has vacated his NYC Apt. as per Bronx Bombers Beat. Now I don't know what that means but I will try to find out.
