Yankees' Wandy Peralta: Secures one-year, $2.15M deal

Peralta and the Yankees agreed Tuesday on a one-year, $2.15 million contract to avoid arbitration, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Peralta will more than double his salary from 2021 after he emerged as an unsung hero out of the New York bullpen following his acquisition from the Giants last April. In his 46 relief appearances with the Yankees, Peralta collected five holds and three saves while turning in a 2.95 ERA in 42.2 innings. He'll be part of the bridge to closer Aroldis Chapman once again in 2022.
