In today’s version of “Who Is This Player,” the New York Yankees introduce their newest signing: Breyvic Valera.
I’m sorry. Who?
Even though players are getting ready to return from their various injuries, the Yankees were a prime example of why it was so important to have depth on hand…even if it isn’t necessary right now.
That’s exactly what the Yankees plan to do with this signing. Valera was claimed off of waivers on Sunday from the San Francisco Giant, as originally reported by Lindsey Adler of The Athletic. The 27-year-old brings with him little major league experience but has some stellar defensive capabilities that will help shore up the minors.
