Yanks Decline Option on Brackman

The Yankees have declined the option on former first round project Andrew Brackman. Though Brackman showed signs from time to time, he never became the dominant force he was expected to be by the Yanks. Needing TJ immediately upon signing messed up his clock. It wouldn't surprise me if he emerges as a good reliever somewhere at some point. The move opens up a spot on the 40. Cashman's new deal was also made official.
