Overview

  • Robert Murray reports the Yankees are closing in on a one-year major-league deal with Ryan Yarbrough, and Ken Rosenthal has confirmed the report.
  • The New York Daily News says the agreement is pending a physical, and financial terms have not been disclosed.
  • Yarbrough, 33, worked as a swingman for New York in 2025, posting a 4.36 ERA over 64 innings across 19 games with eight starts, 55 strikeouts, 19 walks and 13 home runs allowed.
  • General manager Brian Cashman recently said the club’s pitching depth is “going to be challenged early,” signaling a priority on protective depth.
  • The Yankees continue to seek another starter, bullpen help and an outfielder as Gerrit Cole and Carlos Rodón are expected to miss the outset of 2026 and Clarke Schmidt targets a midseason return.
