According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, free agent right-hander Chris Archer has reached an agreement with the Rays.It'll be a one-year, $6.5 million deal, per ESPN's Jeff Passan. Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported back in December that the Rays had discussed a possible reunion with Archer, and now the two sides have finally worked out the terms. The right-hander began his MLB career with the organization, so it's a comfortable landing spot for him to attempt to turn things around after he missed all of 2020 following June surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. He had a rough 5.19 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 119 2/3 innings with the Pirates in 2019. Related: Source: Ken Rosenthal on Twitter So the Rays rip the Pirates off 3 years ago, getting Glasnow and Meadows for Archer then they get him back. You could make up a nice rotation of ex-Pirate pitchers that are in the AL East. LOL, pretty much. |

Almost as brilliant as Yanks robbery of the Cubs a few years back...<Chapman/ Torres> That was a good one too.  |

Another deal the Yankees purchase from the Bargain News: www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/yankees-kyle-barraclough-agree-to-minor-league-deal.htmlThe Yankees have agreed to a minor league deal with free-agent right-hander Kyle Barraclough, Jon Morosi of MLB.com tweets. The contract includes an invitation to major league spring training. In Barraclough, the Yankees are adding a hard-throwing 30-year-old who overcame control problems to prevent runs at a strong clip as part of the Marlins’ bullpen earlier in his career. Barraclough amassed 163 innings of 2.87 ERA ball from 2015-17, during which he logged a 31.7 percent strikeout rate against a 14.5 percent walk rate and averaged upward of 95 mph on his fastball. Barraclough’s production declined during the next two seasons after his successful stretch, especially in a 2019 divided between the Nationals and Giants. He could only muster a 5.61 ERA in 33 2/3 innings that year, when his average heater dropped to 93.5 mph and his strikeout percentage hit a career-low 24.4. After the Giants cut ties with him, Barraclough signed a minors deal with the Padres last winter, but he elected free agency before the season started and didn’t catch on elsewhere. |

As Hemingway said at the end of his novel The Sun Also Rises, “Isn’t pretty to think so.” With the syrupy flow of most teams trades and signings, I have my doubts any major deal is forthcoming. If the Yankees are content at resetting the luxury tax, then it appears there is little room for a significant move. Thanks for posting these Yankee news links, Anthony. They’re fun to read!  |
