Heading into the last third of January, there’s much ado about nothing going on right now. Tangentially related to the Yankees at this point has been the reliever market, where Aroldis Chapman moved on to the Royals of all teams (seems most of the contenders are understandably hesitant on him), and Zack Britton held a throwing session for teams recently. Britton’s market has been slow to develop, and at this point he’s also likely just looking for a small one-year deal to get a fresh look.
Moving onto the itinerary for the day, Gary starts us off with a look back at another short-lived Yankees career, this one belonging to Bob Shirley.
