And with this, John Maine will have completed most of his East Coast Bias career tour. All he needs now is a stop in Philly:
The Yankees will be signing former Mets/Red Sox righty John Maine to a Minor League deal, source says. Maine’s been working out with Yanks

Maine seems have a giant fork sticking in his back — well, his shoulder — as he never actually appeared in a minor-league game for the Red Sox after signing a deal with them in the offseason due to more health problems. Last year he had a 7.43 ERA in 11 starts at Colorado Springs.

Geez, it’s been what, five years since his breakout campaign?

I assume the entire purpose of this signing is that if he somehow recovers and pitches well, it’ll really stick it to the Sox.

With this signing maybe Cashman should be drug tested.

He certainly won’t be a Maine source of production. Most likely just a no-risk cheap flyer.
