Amidst the hype surrounding Derek Jeter and his Hall of Fame election, the Yankees signed left-handed pitcher Luis Avilan to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training on Wednesday. He was with the New York Mets last season, but had some trouble as he pitched to a career-high 5.06 ERA in 32 innings. Given his age and performance last year, it’s unclear what to expect from him in 2020, hence why he received a minor-league deal. However, if he’s able to get back on track, he could be a complimentary piece to an already dominant bullpen.
