The Yankees' signing of RHP Yerry De los Santos earns a C CVI, representing exactly the kind of low-impact depth move that generates minimal buzz for good reason. De los Santos has ping-ponged between the majors and minors this season, with his quick demotion after his most recent call-up exposing clear readiness issues at the big league level. His command problems have prevented him from establishing himself as reliable organizational depth, leaving him as little more than Triple-A filler at this stage of his career. This move barely registered on fans' radar amid more pressing roster concerns, which speaks volumes about the Yankees' expectations for the right-hander. Unless De los Santos makes dramatic improvements to his control and overall stuff, this signing will remain a forgettable footnote in the team's offseason moves.
