Former Giant Matt Duffy signs contract with Yankees; on 60-man roster

Giants fans love Matt Duffy. But they won't like his latest career decision.

Duffy, a former 18th-round draft pick by the Giants in 2012, signed a contract with the New York Yankees on Sunday and was added to their 60-man roster for the 2020 MLB season.

Duffy spent spring training with the Texas Rangers, and collected nine hits in 32 at-bats over 13 games.

The 29-year-old infielder made his big league debut with the Giants in 2014, and instantly became a fan-favorite. Duffy and his late cat Skeeter were a dynamic duo in San Francisco.
