Not the most exciting move in the world, but the Yankees probably made their bullpen incrementally better on Tuesday by adding veteran lefty Tommy Layne.
The former 26th round draft pick back in 2007 has emerged as a solid lefty-on-lefty matchup guy the last few years, compiling a 3.21 ERA in 102.1 career MLB innings .
He first cracked the big leagues at age 27 with the Padres. After two years in San Diego, Layne signed as a free agent with the Boston Red Sox in 2013. Layne has been a useful pitcher for the Sox the last three seasons.
