The Yankees are going to have plenty of better buy-low options than Chris Archer, who is not good.
Before the Yankees attempt to dive into the middling-player-infested waters and snag a few bargains from the larger-than-usual free agent pool, we’re going to go ahead and caution them to avoid a former division rival.
Chris Archer is available, as the Pirates declined the former Ray’s $11 million option this week, making him yet another discarded and expensive piece.
