The Yankees are rolling the dice on veteran right-hander Carlos Carrasco, signing him to a minor league deal on Monday, according to Jack Curry of the YES Network. The 37-year-old will turn 38 in March and is coming off a rough season with Cleveland, where he went 3-10 with a 5.64 ERA over 103 2/3 innings. At this stage in his career, Carrasco isn’t the impact starter he once was, but for a team that values pitching depth, this is a no-lose move.
