Yanks Sign Former Brave IFA Angel Rojas

BA says the Yanks gave SS Angel Rojas 350K today he's about the 5th or 6th player they have signed from the 3.5 Million they had pooled for a run at Ohtani.  They signed an RHP, Renzo Mejia, earlier this week.  Rojas was from this year's IFA class and had originally been had for 300K by the Braves.  Now he's either proved a bit more or there was competition or both. The Yanks now have more SS prospects than they could fit in the stadium on a given day.  And they have even more RHP's.

UPDATE: I think the time when teams and players start approaching arbitration dates is nigh, so we could see some of these younger guys like Machado and Cole traded in the next few days.  I happen to think the Yanks have turned attention to  Manny, and moving another salary to make room for a free agent starter, rather than making one trade for Manny and then another for Cole or someone.  I think they'll have to move Ellsbury (please!) or Gardy or Robertson to make room for Manny's arb salary as well as what they'd need to sign Darvish or whomever.  Of course, Gardy and Robertson are true Yanks, so let's hope it doesn't come to that.
