New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman made another move this week, signing relief pitcher Darren O’Day, formerly of the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles. After trading Adam Ottavino to the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees opened up $8.15 million in available financial flexibility, and it was only a matter of time before they secured another bullpen arm to support the team.

Cashman has already allocated plenty of resources toward the starting pitching rotation, even if some of the players are coming off significant injuries.
