Yankees sign non-drafted free agents: Cody Hamlin, Andrew Schwaab, Matt Walsh, and Geoff DeGroot

Just because the MLB Draft is over, it doesn't mean the Yankees can't continue to add new players to their organization. Every year it seems the Yankees go strong into the non-drafted free agent crop, scooping up the best players who weren't drafted and weren't going to return to school. Recent notable players the organization has signed after the draft include Triple-A starter Jaron Long, Double-A starter Eric Ruth, A-ball catcher Radley Haddad, and High-A Tampa first baseman Mike Ford, among others. This year, the Yankees have wasted no time and have already signed four non-drafted free agents to professional contracts.
