Game on YES
Luis Gil, looking to compete to take Cole's spot in the rotation, goes only 3.1 IP, and 56 pitches. Last outing, 3.2 IP, 49 pitches. Way to build up the innings or the pitch count!
It seems clear that Trevino/Wells are going to be the catchers this season making the team. So, the question is will the Yanks find a trade partner for Rortvedt or will he wind up just being DFA’d? Not sure there any other teams with an opening for a backup catcher at this point. I lean towards him just being DFA’d to clear a spot on the 40 man, since he’s out of options.
