As Tommy Kahnle continues to train for his first full season with the Yankees, the hard-throwing reliever got some good news Thursday night. The Shaker High School grad and the Yankees agreed to a one-year, $1.3 million dollar deal to avoid arbitration. Kahnle, who took over the set up role from Dellin Betances last season, was able to do what Betances could not; avoid a contentious court battle over a season's salary.
Everyone was so quick to blame Joe Girardi for the loss in game 2 in Cleveland because he failed to challenge a hit-by-pitch call on Lonnie Chisenhall when the Yankees led 8-3.
