As we recover from our Christmas food coma and holiday shopping bonanza, the Yankees did a bit of business last Saturday that had nothing to do with Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole.
Having missed out on the Japanese Babe Ruth, Shohei Ohtani (or Kyuji Fujikawa, only time will tell which Ohtani plays like) the Yanks finally decided to spend some of the $3.5 million in international bonus money that was burning a hole in their pocket.
The Yankees officially signed a pair of talented Venezuelans in 16-year-old outfielder Raimfer Salinas and 17-year-old catcher Antonio Cabello.
