Yankees Lose Veteran Pitcher to Diamondbacks

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees lost some veteran rotation depth residing in the minor leagues this week. As reported by the New York Post’s Joel Sherman on Thursday, right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani opted out of his deal with the team and is heading to the Arizona Diamondbacks. It’s unclear if the D-backs signed DeSclafani to a major or minor league deal, though the big league club could use some reinforcements in the rotation following the news that Corbin Burnes, who signed a six-year contract with them worth $210 million as a free agent this past offseason, needs Tommy John surgery.
