Yankees, Jonathan Loaisiga Avoid Arbitration
Right-handed reliever Jonathan Loaisiga and the New York Yankees settled on a one-year, $2.3 million deal to avoid salary arbitration. The 28-year-old is a crucial component of the Yankees bullpen and is expected to make a similar impact in 2023. The right-hander was less effective than the Yankees had hoped in 2022, but he suffered a shoulder injury at the beginning of the season. His 4.13 ERA was nearly double his 2.17 ERA in 2022, but Loaisiga will get his chance to re-establish himself. He made 50 appearances this past season and yielded a career-high 22 earned runs. The right-hander hopes to reinvigorate his fiery approach toward the game and play a vital role in the Yankees' bullpen this coming season.
