With the New York Yankees expected to have a four-man bench, they are approaching decision-making time. On February 13, they signed outfielder/first baseman Jay Bruce to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.
The deal, however, has an opt-out clause due today, March 25. If Bruce activates it, the Yankees have a couple of days to add him to the roster or release him. A decision, therefore, is expected later today.
What Bruce and the Yankees decide will have repercussions on the rest of the roster, as four men are currently fighting for two spots.
