Up in the major leagues, the New York Yankees are taking care of business. In the minor leagues, their teams are loaded with talented prospects lying in wait.
Ernesto Frieri is not a prospect. In fact, he is a veteran journeyman who the Yankees signed to a minor league deal. Yesterday, he chose to opt out of that deal and leave the Yankees.
Ernesto Frieri opts out of yankees deal. He performed well in triple-a. Should have other options.

Despite mixed reports, it was confirmed by Jon Heyman that Frieri indeed chose to opt out and should pursue other options…possibly with another New York team?
