Earlier today
Ken Rosenthal reported the Red Sox have agreed to sign ex-Yankee
Chris Young to a multi-year contract.
He’s an extreme pull hitter and Fenway Park will be a good fit for him. Young was
awesome as the fourth outfielder this year but the
Aaron Hicks trade all but assured he wouldn’t be returning to the Bronx. The Yankees grabbed Young off the scrap heap in 2014 and he gave them a .257/.326/.465 (116 wRC+) batting line with 17 homers and 2.2 fWAR in 435 plate appearances for the low low price of ~$4M. Pretty cool. So long, CY.
Here is tonight’s open thread. The Ravens and Browns are meeting on Monday Night Football, plus the (hockey) Rangers and Islanders are playing as well. There’s also some college basketball going on too. Talk about those games, Young signing with the BoSox, or anything else here.
