On Sunday, Ryan Yarbrough was released from his minor league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. Monday, the veteran left-hander signed with the division-rival New York Yankees.
“There were other teams, but this was by far the team I was most interested in,” Yarbrough said of the Yankees, according to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic. “I’ve heard a lot from the pitching side (about) what they’ve been able to do with guys. That was exciting and intriguing to me.”
