Yankees sign former Braves, Rangers infield solution after brutal Triple-A season

The New York Yankees are inevitably going to have to build up their infield versatility on a budget this offseason while they chase Cody Bellinger (and absorb Trent Grisham). Jose Caballero may be America's favorite demon, but he's best used in special circumstances.

While Anthony Volpe's on the shelf, the Yankees are going to have to pick and choose their spots with Caballero. Versatile backups who can cover multiple positions will be the name of the game, especially on minor-league pacts that don't require 40-man roster protection.

Enter Jonathan Ornelas, who the Yankees signed on Wednesday morning.
