US EditionUtilityman Amed Rosario and Yankees Agree to $2.5 Million, 1-Year Contract
The Yankees signed Amed Rosario for $2.5 million plus incentives to add a right-handed bat and versatile bench depth with a strong platoon track record against lefties.
- The New York Yankees re-signed infielder Amed Rosario to a one-year, $2.5 million contract with $250,000 in potential incentives, first reported by YES Network's Jack Curry.
- Days after Brian Cashman said earlier this week the left-handed lineup was a problem, front-office officials cited the scarcity of accessible right-handed bats as a pursuit driver.
- As a versatile utility option, Amed Rosario can play third base, second base and outfield, appearing in 16 games for the Yankees while excelling against left-handed pitchers with a 125 wRC+ and.819 OPS.
- The move gives manager Aaron Boone a right-handed bench option, but the New York Yankees could still pursue right-handed bats via 'challenge trades' as Cashman said, "I definitely want to give Aaron Boone some legitimate choices so he can match up".
- Off the field, Rosario supplied clubhouse energy and mentorship to Jasson Domínguez, and the Yankees had targeted Amed Rosario in previous offseasons before acquiring him.
