Major league clubs have to offer unsigned players contracts for the 2020 season before Monday’s 8 p.m. tender deadline. A player not offered a contract becomes a free agent.
A look at the Yankees’ 40-man roster — which doesn’t include Domingo German, who is on the restricted list and awaiting word on a likely suspension at the start of the season while being investigated for possibly violating MLB’s domestic violence policy — doesn’t provide many non-tendered possibilities.
The most obvious candidate is right-hander Chance Adams. Such a move would clear one roster spot for a free-agent signing or a trade acquisition.
