Yankees' Jake Woodford: Scooped up by New York

Woodford signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Monday, Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports.

Woodford exercised the opt-out clause of his minor-league contract and was released by the Rockies on Sunday, and it didn't take long for the right hander to find a new club. He's expected to begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and provide organizational depth to the starting rotation.
