Yankees, Austin Romine avoid arbitration with one-year, $1.8 million deal
Yankees back up the truck for the back-up. As noted yesterday, free agency takes a little bit of a halt right now as teams must work with their arbitration-eligible players and get them signed. After agreeing to a $1.2 million deal with Greg Bird, the Yankees kept it going by agreeing to a one-year, $1.8 million with Austin Romine, per Bob Nightengale. Shockingly, Romine only played in 77 games last year, though that number feels like it should be higher since Gary Sanchez had multiple trips to the disabled list. Still, Romine had his best year yet in 2018. Just because it was his best,...

NYY News: Andujar the Padres interested in this offseason?
Padres interested in Andujar; Gary Sanchez among bounceback candidates in 2019; Every MLB team’s best win of 2018 SNY | Deesha Thosar: With Manny Machado available in free agency, the Yankees appear to be shopping Miguel Andujar. The Padres are reportedly showing interest in the young third baseman, and Thosar even suggests that they might even be willing to part with top prospect Fernando Tatis, Jr. for Andujar.
