The Yankees sign righty Chris Bootcheck to a minor league contract
The Yankees have signed right handed reliever Chris Bootcheck to a minor league deal, according to Chris Cotillo of CLNS Radio. Bootcheck is a 34-year-old with a terrible 69 ERA+ and 6.54 ERA over 147.1 innings in parts of six seasons. His 6.4 K/9 and 3.9 BB/9 aren't as terrible as his ERA, but still pretty ...

Yankees sign Thomas Neal and Reegie Corona to minor league deals
The Yankees made a couple of small moves over the weekend too when they signed outfielder Thomas Neal and infielder and former Yankees prospect Reegie Corona, according to Neal's Twitter page and Matt Eddy of Baseball America.

Yankees release Chris Dickerson
