The Yankees are set to add Mike Zagurski, according to Andy McCullough of the Star Ledger (on Twitter). The lefty reliever opted out of his deal with the Athletics last week.
Zagurski, 30, signed a minor league deal with the Bombers in June but opted out of his deal in mid-August and subsequently signed with Oakland. In his brief stint with Triple-A Sacramento, Zagurski gave up four earned and struck out eight batters over six innings. In 53 1/3 total Triple-A innings on the season, Zagurski has a 3.04 ERA with an impressive 14.0 K/9 against 4.0 BB/9.
