The Yankees have signed left-handed pitcher Joely Rodriguez to a one-year
contract, per a team announcement. Just three days ago, the club paid him a
$500K buyout and declined their $3MM club option for the southpaw, but have
now quickly brought him back into the fold. Joel Sherman of the New York Postrelays that the new deal is for $2MM, meaning the club saved themselves $500Kby letting him reach free agency for a few days. Although Ken Rosenthal of
The Athletic reports that there’s also $250K of incentives in the deal.

When the Yankees first acquired Rodriguez as part of the Joey Gallo trade, hehad an ERA of 5.93 through 27 1/3 innings with the Rangers. Despite that highERA, there were reasons for optimism, as he had an excellent 63.9% groundballrate, to go along with average-ish strikeout and walk rates of 23.4% and
9.4%, respectively. After coming to the Bronx, he logged 19 more innings withan ERA of 2.84.

This year’s left-handed relief market doesn’t have a lot of standouts, with
Aaron Loup, Brooks Raley, Andrew Chafin and Tony Watson representing the
cream of the crop. The Yankees have acted quickly and scooped up one of the
options that they saw up close and clearly liked enough to bring back, as
long as the price was right.

This acts as a sort of early birthday present for Rodriguez, as he will be
turning 30 in four days. He’ll slot into a Yankee bullpen alongside other
lefty options such as Aroldis Chapman, Wandy Peralta and Lucas Luetge. The
club’s 40-man roster is now full.

5. 備註：

(1) 洋基隊以$2MM/1YR附帶$250K的激勵獎金簽回左手牛Joely Rodriguez，三天前才以
$500K買斷$3MM的選擇權，故洋基隊可以省下$500K。

(2) 他在Gallo包裹中一起被送來，儘管在遊騎兵27.1局繳出5.93 ERA，但還是有幾處可樂觀看待，他能繳出63.9%的滾地球製造率、搭配平均水準的23.4%三振率及9.4%保送率，來到洋基19局中繳出2.84的ERA。

(3) 目前洋基隊40人名單已滿。
