The Mets made three long-awaited roster moves official today. They purchased the contracts of RHP Blaine Boyer and OF/2B Willie Harris and activated RHP Francisco Rodriguez from the restricted list. All of these moves have been expected for the past couple of days.
The Yankees made a series of moves today, essentially finalizing their 25-man roster for Opening Day tomorrow. The Bombers placed C Francisco Cervelli and LHP Pedro Feliciano on the 15-day disabled list and LHP Damaso Marte, 2B Reegie Corona, and LF Colin Curtis on the 60-day disabled list. All of these players have been injured for some time. The Yanks also optioned LF Chris Dickerson to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Dickerson was acquired a few days ago from Milwaukee for RHP Sergio Mitre and basically had no place on the team. He is still on the 40-man roster. They also offically designated RHP Romulo Sanchez for assignment, who is having his contract sold to a team in Nippon Professional Baseball. To fill those numerous voids on the roster, the Yankees purchased the contracts of RHP Luis Ayala, RHP Bartolo Colon, RHP Freddy Garcia, and C Gustavo Molina. The Yankees roster looks like this:
