ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER LEFTY RELIEVER!

The Yankees keep racking up the lefty relievers and I kind of appreciate it.

The Yankees just swiped lefty Brent Headrick off waivers from the Twins, and on paper, this guy is an intriguing mix of skills. We’re talking about a pitcher with strikeout potential, a knack for generating ground balls, and—oh yeah—he’s really tall. Sounds like a winning formula, right?

Headrick, 27, spent most of last season bouncing around the Twins' minor league system, but he’s seen some big-league action over the past two years. His numbers? A 5.97 ERA with a 35:12 K:BB ratio over 28.2 innings. Not exactly ace material, but there’s something to work with. His biggest red flags? Command issues and a pesky habit of serving up home runs. If he can get those under control, the Yankees might have found themselves a solid bullpen piece.

I don’t expect Headrick to be in pinstripes on Opening Day. He’s got minor-league options left, meaning he’s probably ticketed for Triple-A to start the season. But hey, depth is everything in baseball, and the Yankees clearly saw something they liked.

To make room for Headrick, the Yankees designated right-hander Owen White for assignment. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because White just arrived in New York. And before that? The Yankees had Allan Winans, only to cut him loose for White. Now White is gone too. Are the Yankees making upgrades here, or just shuffling deck chairs? That remains to be seen.

Shoutout to Phil Miller of the Minnesota Star Tribune for breaking the news before the official announcement. Now, let’s see if Headrick can turn his strikeout stuff and ground-ball tendencies into something special in the Bronx.
