Yankees send Adam Ottavino to Red Sox

Yankees they send to Adam Ottavino to the Red Sox. The Yankees of New York made a strange change with their historic rival on Monday. The Manhattan Mules sent left-handed reliever Adam Ottavino to the Boston Red Sox and could receive a player to be named later or cash as part of the transaction.

Ottavino will arrive in Boston alongside prospective pitcher Frank German. In addition, New York sent its historic opponent from the AL East division $ 850,000 to help cover the $ 8 million that the reliever will earn during the 2021 season.

With Ottavino’s departure, the Yankees get a financial break of nearly $ 8 million, which will directly impact their salary cap. Adam, who was signed by New York in 2019 for three seasons and $ 27 million, showed his great talent in his first year in the Big Apple, but had a notable setback during 2020.

The left-hander made his debut for the Bronx Bombers with a 1.90 ERA, 88 strikeouts, 40 walks, in 66.1 innings of work. However, in the shortened 2020 season, Ottavino had an ERA of 5.89, in 18.1 innings, with 25 strikeouts and nine walks.

Although he has 19 career saves, Adam has served much of his career as a setter, so it remains to be seen whether the Red Sox would grant him a closer shot. Matt Barnes is currently the team’s closer. Ottavino will wear his fourth major league jersey, after playing with the Yankees, Colorado Rockies and St. Louis Cardinals.
