The Yankees are adding a veteran arm who will potentially aid in a postseason run. Former All-Star reliever Trevor Rosenthal was signed on Tuesday to a minor-league deal.
In 12 appearances with the Nationals this season, Rosenthal’s ERA reached as high as 22.74, which led to his release in June. He then landed in Detroit with the Tigers, and posted a 7.00 ERA in 10 appearances. “Taking a chance” on him is quite the understatement, but perhaps thirds time’s a charm?
Here’s to hoping a change of scenery with the best team in the American League does the trick!
