Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Reinstated INF Ryan McMahon (#19) from the 10-day injured list.
• Returned OF Trent Grisham (#12) from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 10-day injured list.
• Placed LHP Carlos Rodón on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to 6/30) with left elbow inflammation.
• Optioned INF/OF Oswaldo Cabrera to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
From an SCR and football earnings (UEFA settlement) perspective, Xhaka would've been one of our most expensive players. For example, a £20-25m deal on a 2+1-year contract with massive wages (easily in the 200k+/week bracket) would come to £20m+ yearly cost. Not feasible.
