Michael King Settles For $1.3 Million
The New York Yankees and right-hander Michael King avoided arbitration after agreeing to a one-year, $1.3 million deal. King is recovering from a fractured elbow back in July and hopes to return in 2023. He is lauded as one of the biggest weapons out of the Yankees bullpen, and his return is quite impactful for the club. Before suffering a fractured elbow, King made 34 bullpen appearances and posted a 2.29 ERA with 66 strikeouts and a 2.23 FIP. He maintained a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate while holding opponents to a .191 average. Assuming that the 27-year-old is ready for 2023, the Yankees expect King to pick up where he left off. King will make an impact in the fantasy world, especially in league formats that account for holds.
