Earlier today, the Yankees made the Adam Ottavino signing official. The Bombers agreed to terms with the reliever last Thursday, but it takes time to go through a physical and clear space on the 40-man roster. With the contract settled, the team also released a fun detail: Ottavino will wear 0 as his uniform number.
The Yankees notably have retired every other single digit number. In fact, many talked about how Derek Jeter had the last of them. Ottavino, who wore 0 with the Rockies since 2013, will change that this spring.
