The Yankees acquired Yates from the Indians, and signed three players to minor league deals to restock Scranton and Trenton.
The Yankees had been relatively quiet since they traded for Aroldis Chapman a few weeks ago, but Brian Cashman got to work yesterday to add depth to the team's minor league rosters. They worked out a deal with the Indians to acquire reliever Kirby Yates, and signed Jonathan Diaz, Donovan Solano and Tyler Jones to minor league deals as well. These are not the most exciting deals ever, but some of these players have a shot at playing in the majors next year.
