The New York Yankees have agreed to terms with RHP Bartolo Colon on a minor league contract and invited him to Spring Training. Colon did not pitch last season. The Yankees signed him based upon his performance this offseason in the Puerto Rican Winter League. He is expected to compete for a job in the Yankees rotation.
This is just another sign of how thin the Yankees rotation actually is. Colon, now 37, hasn't produced a full season of starts in six seasons and is well past his prime. The odds of Colon sticking with the team (or the organization for that matter) after Spring camp are low, but his sheer presence should be a sign of concern for Yankees fans.
