Alex Verdugo’s message as sad free agency lingers after Yankees failure
NY Post
The clock is ticking on Alex Verdugo’s chances to land on a roster before Opening Day, but the ex-Yankee apparently isn’t that concerned.
“IN DUE TIME,” Verdugo captioned a highlight reel posted Saturday to Instagram that showcased mostly his highlights from his Yankees tenure, but also included shots of him with the Red Sox and Dodgers.
Opening Day — if you exclude the Cubs-Dodgers two-game stint in Tokyo — is a little more than three weeks away and Verdugo remains a free agent.
That the 28-year-old has yet to sign with a team likely boils down to a few factors.
Verudugo could be holding out for a better offer that he feels matches his self-perceived value, and it’s possible that teams just are not all that interested in a mediocre player.
Some teams may also view him as a reserve, while Verdugo still believes he’s a starting-caliber outfielder.
