The Yankees announced a pair of roster moves today, as both Estevan Florial and Rafael Ortega have made the Opening Day roster. It’s a surprise move concerning Flo, but less surprising when you consider the fact that he’ll likely be DFA’d when Bader returns. I don’t know how he can make the roster following his atrocious spring, and 0 evidence supporting him being an MLB player.
