The New York Yankees have made a move to bolster their infield depth.
According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Yankees have signed versatile infielder/outfielder Josh VanMeter to a minor league deal.
VanMeter spent the entire 2023 season in the minor leagues. He has not appeared in the major leagues since 2022 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he slashed .187/.266/.292 with a .558 OPS, three home runs and 14 RBIs in 67 games.
In four career big-league seasons, VanMeter has hit .206 with a .640 OPS in 743 at-bats.
VanMeter, 28, brings versatility to the Yankees’ depth, as he has the ability to play second base and the corner outfield spots.
While this isn’t the flashiest of moves, it helps the Yankees strengthen their depth at the upper levels of the minor leagues.
