On August 15th, the Yankees signed free agent reliever Tyler Lyons to a minor league contract. He didn’t have much of an impact or any prominent role in the 11 games he appeared in for the Yankees, but Lyons could get more reps once the 2020 season begins as they’ve re-signed him this offseason to another minor league deal.
That wasn’t the first time he was linked to the Bombers though. He was actually drafted by New York in the 2009 amateur draft, but elected to return to pitch at Oklahoma State University instead.
