Yankees Sign Ramon Ortiz

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | April 4, 2012 at 4:33pm CDT

The Yankees signed right-hander Ramon Ortiz, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets. It's a minor league deal, Marc Carig of the Star-Ledger tweets. The Giants recently released the 39-year-old Praver/Shapiro client.

Ortiz appeared in 22 games for the Cubs last year, posting a 4.86 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 33 1/3 innings. The 11-year MLB veteran also made 16 starts at Triple-A, completing 99 1/3 innings with the Iowa Cubs. The Yankees acquired catcher Chris Stewart from the Giants earlier today.

      This post makes absolutely no sense at all. Just so you know. And no, I’m not missing your sarcasm. Its just that the point you seem to be making does not compute.

    So wait, trade Kontos for a back-up catcher you don’t need, then turn and sign a washed up pitcher. Am I missing something here?

    Hey guys, he’s heading to AAA on a MiLB contract. We need a pitcher to take Phelps’ spot (our #1 in AAA who got a longman slot after Pineda got hurt).

    Breathe.

    Are the Yankees going nuts? First they send Cervelli down; then Maxwell, then sign an anemic vagabond in Stewart, then sign Ortiz, trade Kontos, who shows promise. What in hell is going on? It’s almost like they are trying to self destruct. Anyone got any ideas?
