- This from MLBtraderumors.com:
10:38am: McDaniel reports that the Yankees have indeed agreed to sign Arredondo for $850k. Osuna is "out of the picture," however, as the Yanks added righty Chris Cabrera for $400k.
9:54am: As expected, the Yankees have signed Dominican catcher Gary Sanchez, according to Kiley McDaniel of Baseball Prospectus. Sanchez will receive a bonus of "basically $3MM," though the details aren't yet clear.
McDaniel hears that the Yankees will spend an additional $1MM on a shortstop and a pitcher. Damian Arredondo is expected to be the shortstop and some expect the pitcher to be Jose Osuna. If he signs, Arredondo would likely receive about $850k of the $1MM the Yankees are expected to spend on the pair of players.
- Nady will have season-ending Tommy John surgery next Wednesday. The surgery will require 10-12 months to recover. Anthony DiComo has more.
Back when he injured himself in Tampa Nady Mark Feinsand had this quote from him after the game:
"It's tough. I enjoy taking the field with this group of guys and I feel like we have a good team," Nady said, fighting back tears. "I told Girardi I feel bad because they went out and made a trade for me last year, so I feel like I'm letting them down."
- Ramiro Pena is not taking the demotion as a bad thing.
- Brian Bruney is OK with any role they need him in the pen.
