For the past several days, the Yankees have been in discussions to add another solid arm to their bullpen: lefty Justin Wilson. It took a three-day weekend of rumors in the lead-up to pitchers and catchers reporting, but according to Sweeny Murti of WFAN, the two sides have seemingly come to an agreement. SNY’s Andy Martino reports that it will be worth $4 million.
This will be Wilson’s second Yankees tenure. He first joined the team in 2015, as he came over from Pittsburgh in the Francisco Cervelli trade. Although Wilson only spent one season in pinstripes, it wasn’t because of any specific weakness in his game.
