The New York Yankees signed their second pitcher during this offseason. They have signed right-hand reliever Matt Bowman to a Minor League contract in a move that will have no consequences for the 2021 season and possibly beyond. This is a low-risk move with a possible good reward for the 2022 season. Bowman underwent Tommy John surgery three months ago and will be sidelined the entire 2021 season.
Although this is a move that will have no value to the Yankees this year, it could provide them with a solid addition to the bullpen during 2022.
