With spring training less than a week old, GM Brian Cashman is still looking to add to the roster. According to Joel Sherman of the NY Post, the Yankees are set to sign LHP Jon Niese to a minor league deal, pending a physical.
I hear Jon Niese is taking a physical with #Yankees and if all is OK, he will sign a minor league contract
Niese, 30, was selected by the New York Mets in the seventh round of the 2005 amateur draft. He made his big league debut in 2008, and spent parts of eight years in Queens before getting traded to Pittsburgh in December 2015 for 2B Neil Walker.
