As announced this week, the Yankees made a surprising move by signing Chris Carter to a $3 million deal. He had his market crater so much that Brian Cashman felt it was worthwhile to pick him up for cheap and worry about where he will play later. Still, though, what does this mean for the team’s roster as we get closer to spring training?
First of all, Carter will have to be added to the 40-man roster before anything else happens. I imagine he will take the spot of either Johnny Barbato or Richard Bleier, with the latter the most likely to go.
