Aaron Boone says that Jay Bruce will NOT work out with the #Yankees today, and will await a roster decision in the next 48 hours.
Jay Bruce might be using his opt out clause pretty soon. It was nice to see Bruce hit with some opposite field power early in spring training, but him potentially not making the team isn’t necessarily a surprise. Bruce hasn’t been great the last three years (.217/.282/.448 with a 92 wRC+), and you can easily make the argument that Mike Tauchman can not only replicate that, but can also provide much better defense.
