No trade deal ever came about, but the Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett has come up quite a bit this offseason in trade rumors. With the New York Yankees signing recently released shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, the Bronx Bombers pursuit of Scooter is likely to halt.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Yankees have agreed to a one-year deal with Tulowitzki for the league minimum. The 34-year-old Tulowitzki was released from the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this offseason and is still owed $38 million by his former team.
The deal will help New York solidify its infield in the wake of Didi Gregorius‘ season-ending injury Tommy John surgery.
