According to Jack Curry of the YES Network the New York Yankees‘ worked out former closer, Ernesto Frieri.
Curry mentioned that Frieri, who hasn’t pitched in the majors since May 24, 2015, as a member of the Tampa Bay Rays, was in the clubhouse in Tampa and the next news to expect is the signing of a minor league deal — although nothing is confirmed as of yet.
Frieri, 31, spent seven seasons from 2009-15 with the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels, Pittsburgh Pirates and Rays. The righty owns 73 career saves and in 2013, he recorded 37 which was good enough for seventh-most in the American League.
