The Yankees have acquired right-hander Michael Arias from the Cubs for cash considerations, utilizing their multiple vacancies on the 40-man roster without needing additional moves.
Arias, originally a shortstop, has transitioned to pitching, showing promise but struggling significantly with control, evidenced by his high walk rate.
Despite a solid strikeout rate of 27.7%, Arias' control issues persist, reflected in his walk rate of 16.5%, raising concerns about his effectiveness on the mound.
With the Cubs designating him for assignment after signing Colin Rea, the Yankees see potential in Arias and intend to help him improve his pitching control.
