Aaron Boone hinted at the Yankees making a move for a reliever, and it seems this could be that move. After the Rays attempted to assign RHP Colten Brewer to Triple-A following an excellent Spring Training campaign. While the Rays are certainly loaded with relievers, they had some tough cuts to make in camp with plenty of surprise performers, including this journeyman reliever.
