New York Yankees Sign 7-Year MLB Player
Ahead of their series with the Angels, news came out that Justin Topa had elected free agency.
MLB.com wrote (on August 31): “RHP Justin Topa elected free agency.”
However, Topa quickly signed a new deal with the Yankees after entering free agency.
Conor Foley of YES Network wrote (on September 1): “Justin Topa is back in the Yankees organization. Signed a minor-league deal, the RailRiders announce.”
Topa has appeared in two games for the Yankees this year.
He let up no earned runs in 3.0 innings.
In addition to the Yankees, Topa has also spent time pitching for the Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers over seven seasons at the MLB level.
The 35-year-old has gone 6-11 with a 4.19 ERA in 174 career games.
It will be interesting to see if the Yankees call up Topa again this month.
