Yankees: Fan-favorite relief pitcher signs with the LA Dodgers on two-year deal

The New York Yankees are extremely thin in the bullpen, so when Tommy Kahnle suggested that he would hit free agency instead of staying on a minor league contract with the Bombers, it was a big surprise. Kahnle has elected to test free agency and subsequently signed a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Kahnle underwent Tommy John surgery this past year, so he will be rehabilitating well into the 2021 season.
