New York Yankees Bronx Bomber Buzz, 3/27/17: Jon Niese Released, Masahiro Tanaka Plows Ahead

In Sunday, March 27, 2017’s edition of New York Yankees Bronx Bomber Buzz, we take a look at the latest news and notes from the spring training camp of the pinstripers.

Topping the news today has to be the disappointment former New York Mets players Jon Niese and Ruben Tejada have brought to the team as of late.

Veteran left-hander Jon Niese was actually released on Sunday after he surrendered three runs on five hits in just six innings of work in the Grapefruit League.

When he was signed there was a possibility Niese could possibly make the Yankees 40-man roster, after a disappointing spring performance that is all but out the window.
