It didn’t happen because of a trade like many were expecting, but Darren O’Day is finally on the New York Yankees 40-man roster.
Back on Jan. 27, news broke that the Bombers had agreed to a one-year deal with O’Day, who spent 2020 with the Atlanta Braves. Fans were excited, but just like the DJ LeMahieu-Corey Kluber-Jameson Taillon situations, someone had to be moved off the active roster to make room for the right-hander.
