The New York Yankees and free-agent LHP Jon Niese have agreed to a minor-league deal with an invite to major-league camp. (Joel Sherman on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact
Niese finished 2016 with an 8-7 record with a 5.50 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP in 121 innings pitched. I love the idea of Niese on the Yankees but even in a holds league its hard to see him having value with Betances and Chapman holding down the bullpen.
