Yanks Make Roster Moves

Today the Yanks announced that they added Mason Williams, Danny Burawa, Branden Pinder and Tyler Austin to their 40 man roster.  They also sold Zealous Wheeler to Japan, so they should have 1 space open on their 40 going forward.

Keeping Burawa and Pinder helps the pen as both still have upside and could eventually find roles.   Austin was a gimme, but it's interesting that they are holding on Mason Williams.   He's probably an elite defender in the OF, but he hasn't hit in years.  It's also a bit strange that they are now carrying both Slade Heathcott and Mason Williams who are little more than toolsy.

I think they might have lost Nuding and Montgomery, which would be somewhat suboptimal.
