Yankees Sign Veteran Ryan Yarbrough to Bolster Bullpen

The experienced left-hander joins the team on a one-year deal as the Yankees finalize their Opening Day roster.

Ryan Yarbrough, 33, signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Yankees after opting out of a minor league contract with the Blue Jays.
Yarbrough had a strong 2024 season with a 3.19 ERA across 44 games and 98 ⅔ innings for the Dodgers and Blue Jays.
The left-hander is expected to provide bullpen depth, offering length in relief and serving as a second left-handed option alongside Tim Hill.
His addition may influence roster decisions, potentially pushing pitchers like Brent Headrick or Yerry De Los Santos to the minors.
Yarbrough cited the Yankees' reputation for improving pitchers as a key factor in choosing the team over other offers.
