The Yankees as expected signed Gary Sanchez today along with two other international free agents. Chris Cabrera a RHP from the Dominican Republic was obtained for 400K. Here was the bit we published about him earlier:

Chris Cabrera, RHP, Dominican Republic
6'1"/185
Cabrera has some more polished stuff (for a 16 year old) and has drawn plenty of interest around the league. He sits in the low 90's with his fastball and has touched 94. He also offers a slider and change up that could potentially become plus pitches and throws with decent command. Cabrera is said to be demanding anywhere from 500k to 750k in bonus money.

The Yankees also went ahead and signed a short stop, Damian Arredondo for $850K. Apparently Arredondo is a speed guy with decent fielding tools at this point. We'll keep you updated as more reports trickle in.
