The Yankees have just completed another signing, locking down free-agent right-handed reliever Adam Ottavino. ESPN’s Jeff Passan first reported the agreement, while Fancred’s Jon Heyman reported the terms: three years and $27 million. With Ottavino, the team’s super-bullpen is now fully operational.
Ottavino is coming off a sensational season with the Rockies. He struck out nearly 13 batters per nine innings, maintaining a 2.43 ERA across 77.2 innings. That run prevention figure looks even more eye-popping from a league- and park-adjusted standpoint; his 53 ERA- ranked eighth in baseball among relievers.
