After weeks and weeks of rumors, the Yankees have finally added to their bullpen. Over the weekend they agreed to re-sign Zach Britton to a unique two-year contract. The deal includes a two-year club option and a one-year player option, and can reportedly max out at $53M. Prepare to see more lefty hellsinkers in the Bronx. Here are some thoughts on the deal.
1. The Yankees let the reliever I wanted them to re-sign walk and re-signed the reliever I wanted them to let walk. Between contract projections and expected performance, I thought David Robertson was the best free agent reliever on the market this offseason.
