The off-season has officially begun for the New York Yankees. The reason is their eagerness to correct the mistakes that led to their downfall this season. And it seems they have finally found a player to their liking and have signed him days after non-tendering a few players from their squad.

Given that the Yankees had a few voids to fill, they have gone with a young player to do the job at the move. With this, they have also fulfilled the objective of having a young squad with a future in mind. Though the signing was a surprise for all, fans have liked it and given a thumbs-up to the package.

New York Yankees Sign Yerry De Los Santos to Add Options on the Mound

The Yankees have their first new signing of the season in a boost to their defensive setup that lacked consistency. A post from Talkin’ Yanks confirmed it and read, “The Yankees have signed Yerry De Los Santos, a sinker-heavy reliever who recorded a 3.33 ERA in 22 games with Pittsburgh last season.”

With this, the relief pitcher will move away from Pittsburgh after spending two seasons there. Debuting in 2022, the 25-year-old has played 48 games in the MLB so far. During this period, Yerry has claimed 44 strikeouts at a WHIP of 1.26.
