NY Post | Greg Joyce: A number of former Yankees emerged on Friday, with Andrew Velazquez, Greg Allen, and Tim Locastro all getting claimed off of waivers. The Angels, Pirates, and Red Sox are the respective recipients of that trio of players, plus Rob Brantly electing free agency instead of an assignment to Triple-A Scranton. The moves were made on the Yankees’ part to free up 40-man space ahead of the Rule 5 Draft, as well as any free agency deals or trades they may make in the future. Velazquez and Allen earned some popularity in their short stints, but there was never going to be consistent playing time for any of these guys in New York.
