Yanks acquire Jerry Hairston Jr.

Yup, that’s the word from Joel Sherman. He’s a right and plays many positions. Could they turn Shelley around? Just as some background on Hairston, he’s a 33-year-old utility man, mostly corner OFs, SS, and 3B. Had an excellent season in Cincinnati last year, but ended up overexposed this season and his numbers tumbled. He’d go along well with Ransom as a guy who can play multiple positions.
