Yankees Claim Pitchers, Sign Top Prospect Cedeno

The New York Yankees have made key additions to their roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. They claimed right-handed pitchers Roansy Contreras and Allan Winans off waivers to strengthen their pitching depth. Contreras, who previously played with the Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Angels, returns to the Yankees, where he began his career, after a stint with several teams. Meanwhile, the Yankees signed Manny Cedeno, a highly touted 16-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic, as part of their international class. Cedeno, ranked among the top prospects globally, is expected to rise swiftly through their ranks due to his promising skills. These moves reflect the Yankees' ongoing strategy to invest in both emerging talents and experienced players to bolster their roster.
