MLB News: Yankees ink familiar bullpen arm to contract

The New York Yankees continue to take their off-season slowly, inking minor-league contracts rather than getting aggressive on big free agent signings or diving into the trade pool.

Teams around the league have taken a more aggressive approach, as the New York Mets completed a massive trade with the Cleveland Indians to acquire Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco. The San Diego Padres have made similarly impressive moves, acquiring Yu Darvish and Blake Snell.

The Yankees are taking a vastly different approach as they continue to wait on DJ LeMahieu this off-season. Waiting benefits the players, as they can wait for COVID-19 to hopefully taper off, as ensuring a full 2021 campaign will only earn them more money.
