Ryan Yarbrough is staying with the New York Yankees on a one-year contract. That's according to a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal was subject to a successful physical examination.

Recently, one more Red Sox player chose to leave for the Yankees in free agency, but it received far less fanfare.

A 29-year-old star with three years remaining before free agency doesn’t get traded very often, but sometimes the stars align just right to make him available.
