Yankees Risk It on Fulmer | New York Yankees News

The Yankees pulled off a bold, last-minute bullpen move by signing journeyman Michael Fulmer to a minor league deal after Fernando Cruz’s UCL tear dashed his season. Once an All-Star with the Tigers, Fulmer’s career has been a whirlwind of transactions — bouncing between seven teams in two years — but he landed on the Yankees first after leaving the Angels, and he’s already making an impact. Manager Aaron Boone threw him right into the fire in his debut, and Fulmer shut down tough hitters in the eighth inning. This mirrors the Yankees’ savvy, low-risk strategy: they’ve built their bullpen around waiver claims and minor deals like Brent Headrick and Paul Blackburn, proving that sometimes the most unpredictable moves yield the biggest rewards when injuries strike.
