Yankees re-signing Amed Rosario on $2.5 million contract to fill righty bat need

The Yankees have yet to take a big swing this offseason, but they added a piece to their offense, agreeing to a deal to bring back Amed Rosario, The Post confirmed. Rosario will stay in The Bronx on a one-year, $2.5 million deal.The 30-year-old arrived in a trade with Washington last July and provided the lefty-heavy Yankee lineup a professional bat from the right side, as well as defensive versatility. He’ll figure to have a similar role this season after putting up an .819 OPS against left-handed pitching last season. On defense, Rosario isn’t a standout, but the Yankees trusted him enough to start him in playoff games at second and third base. They still have the lefty-swinging Ryan McMahon at third, who struggles against lefties and strikes out a ton, but gives the Yankees the best defensive option at third. With Ben Rice pencilled in at first, Jazz Chisholm Jr.at second — at least for now — and Jose Caballero set to fill in for Anthony Volpe at shortstop while Volpe recovers from offseason surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, the Yankees infield will be able to use Rosario’s versatility. ...
