Gio Gonzalez is reportedly planning on opting out of his minor league deal with the New York Yankees, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
With Domingo Germán and CC Sabathia fortifying the Yankees' rotation, there is increasing sense Gio Gonzalez plans on opting out of his deal tomorrow, sources tell ESPN. The Yankees would have 48 hours to add him to their roster, and if they don't, he'll become a free agent.

The Yankees inked Gonzalez to a deal late this spring after news of Luis Severino’s injury forced them to make depth signing.
