The Yankees made a bit of news the morning after Opening Day, signing veteran left-hander Fernando Abad, adding some depth to an already elite bullpen. Abad has never really thrived in MLB, pitching to exactly league-average ERA in 21 games for the San Francisco Giants in 2019 despite mediocre strikeout numbers.
Abad was released by the Washington National last week, towards the end of summer camp. It’s unclear at time of writing whether he was signed to a major-league deal or not, but it’s hard to imagine him making the main club immediately.
