We were all waiting for the New York Yankees to make some moves off-season, and it looks like they did on Friday.
In the morning, it was reported that the New York Yankees signed top free-agent second baseman DJ LeMahieu to a six-year 90 million dollar contract. With an average annual value of $15 million, the six-year pact would provide the Yankees with relief as they aim to bring payroll below the $210 million luxury tax threshold this season.

But the New York Yankees were not done for the day. According to reports, the Yankees are signing two-time CY Young Award winner Corey Kluber to a one year $11 million deal.
During his peak years in Cleveland from 2014-18, Kluber averaged about 218 innings per season and combined for a stellar 2.85 ERA/2.99 SIERA with a 28.5 percent strikeout rate and a paltry 5.2 percent walk rate. There was no reason to expect a drop-off heading into 2019, but Kluber hasn’t been the same since then.
Kluber is a client of Jet Sports Management.
The current New York Yankee rotation looks pretty impressive:
- 1. Gerrit Cole
- 2. Corey Kluber
- 3. Jordan Montgomery
