As MLB and the players’ association keep negotiating a possible major league baseball season in 2020, the New York Yankees are wasting no time in securing young talent for their farm system. This week, the team signed five college right-handed pitchers, and on Thursday, the Bombers announced deals with two college outfielders.
The MLB Draft took place last week, but it was atypical, as it lasted only five rounds. That’s why the undrafted free agency pool is so big, and the Yankees are taking advantage of the talent available.
The New York Yankees agreed to terms with Indiana University outfielder Elijah Dunham and University of Nebraska outfielder Aaron Palensky as non-drafted free agents, according to Bryan Hoch.
