Notes: 1B/3B Jeimer Candelario was signed to a minor league deal after being released by the Cincinnati Reds.

When I hype up someone like Jesus Rodriguez, I can’t tell you how the Yankees feel about him internally. Guess what? Nobody who writes or talks about these guys has any […]

Notes: RHP Bryce Cunningham‘s return from the injured list was short-lived, as he is back on the list after only one start. Cunningham has arguably impressed the most from last year’s pitching class, compiling a 1.93 ERA (3.33 FIP) over 46.2 innings with a 25.7% K, 6% BB, and 45.4% GB. The Yankees released veteran LHP […]
