Yankees' Wade LeBlanc: Inks minor-league deal with Yankees

LeBlanc signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Tuesday which includes an invitation to spring training, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports.

LeBlanc appeared in a career-high 50 games in 2017, finishing the season with a lackluster 4.50 ERA and 54:17 K:BB across 68 innings of work. He had his $1.25 million club option for 2018 declined by the Pirates. The 33-year-old will now look earn a relief role with the Yankees this spring, but given the talent already in the New York's bullpen, LeBlanc seems to only have an outside shot of breaking camp.
