Yankees Claim Parker Bridwell, Designate Ronald Torreyes

In a bit of a head scratcher the New York Yankees have claimed RHP Parker Bridwell from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In a corresponding roster move the team has designated Ronald Torreyes for assignment.

Brian Cashman and his scouts must see something in Bridwell that the rest of us don't, or else I don't get this deal. Maybe Bridwell will be packaged along with Sonny Gray? Maybe Torreyes agreed to come back to the club on a new minor league deal?

Stay tuned.
