Former New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo made headlines this week when he signed a very late contract with the Atlanta Braves.
Verdugo was not spectacular last season for the Yankees by any means, but he was also not bad enough to still be fighting for a job this close to the campaign beginning.
Though his slash line of .233/.291/.356 was certainly not enough to make anyone want to hand him a massive deal, his 13 home runs and 61 RBI, along with still very solid fielding, should have been enough to land somewhere earlier.
