The Yankees signed former Red Sox righty Manny Delcarmen to a minor-league deal yesterday. The 29-year-old could add depth to their bullpen, but he hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2010, when he spent time with the Red Sox and Rockies.
Delcarmen pitched in a combined 26 Triple-A games...

I wrote about Michael Pineda earlier when he got traded to the Yankees and said because of his low ground ball percentage (36.3%) he could have some trouble in his new home.

The Red Sox have added some low-cost starters this offseason, and are still very much looking for pitching help before Opening Day. But could Daisuke Matsuzaka be the guy to come back and help Boston down the stretch in 2012? Matsuzaka certainly has a ways to go before returning, but he reportedly made a significant stride on Tuesday. The right-hander threw a bullpen session off...
