Yanks sign O'Day

No word on terms, but the Yanks found Ottavino's replacement pretty rapidly. Similar to Ottavino, O'Day is dominant vs RH hitters and vulnerable to lefties.

Another good move by Cashman.

Another good move by Cashman.

 

It's like both teams are in a competition to see who can have the most question marks on their staffs.

 

Despite O'Day's fine numbers the last few years, he only has 42 IP over the last 3 seasons combined. He just turned 38, but at $1.75M, there is little risk.

There’s clearly risk, but at $1.75 mil, he’s worth it. Let’s put it this way, there’s a chance he performs as well or better than Ottavino for 20% the cost

Yes, about a 20% chance.

This is my kind of relief pitching signing.

O'Day is one of those unorthodox type of pitchers who can be tough to hit . His age does not seem to be much of a factor. He can be useful in his role.
