Yankees sign Ryan Yarbrough in bullpen shakeup before season
NY Post
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Yankees are adding an AL East veteran to their bullpen.
The club signed lefty Ryan Yarbrough to a major league deal on Monday, filling one of the three open spots they had in their bullpen on the Opening Day roster.
The one-year deal is worth $2 million, with a chance to make $250,000 in performance bonuses, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported.
The soft-tossing, side-arming Yarbrough, 33, had been in camp with the Blue Jays this spring but opted out of his minor league deal.
The longtime Rays swingman split last year between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, posting a 3.19 ERA across 98 ²/₃ innings and 44 games.
“Track record, a guy that can give you real length,” manager Aaron Boone said Monday at Clover Park. “Definitely a different look. A guy that’s had a lot of success against us over his career. But just gives us some more depth, a real length option and a track record.”

They have already spoken. Soon enough, the Giants need their star wide receiver, Malik Nabers, and their new quarterback, Russell Wilson, to turn their words into action and exploits.

This is one of the lures, isn’t it? This is one of the reasons we keep coming back, even as the seasons seem to grow longer, because there are no scripts in sports (despite the occasional official/referee/umpire conspiracy theories that arise from time to time). There is no plan.
