Regardless, Paul Blackburn's back, and the Yankees remain relentlessly addicted to signing people who were already here last year. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante of Yanks Go Yard discuss the latest rumblings, plus the Chicago White Sox givin...

The guys also react to the bizarre Luke...

Amed Rosario back at $2.5M is tidy business for the Yankees—bench with intent, lefty masher, multi-positional cover. But… it’s mid-December and the “new” faces are mostly old friends (Grisham, Yarbrough, Hill).
