Yankees release re-sign C Eddy Rodriguez

In the latest round of Baseball America's minor-league transactions, for the period of October 24-30, Matt Eddy reports that the New York Yankees have released first baseman Kyle Roller and re-signed catcher Eddy Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, who turns 30 on December 1, was signed last winter as a minor-league free agent and split the season between Double-A and Triple-A. The veteran hit just .170 with three homers and 20 RBI in 57 games, but was noted for his work with top prospect Gary Sanchez - and with Sanchez also likely ticketed for the minors to start 2016, Rodriguez may have been brought back to continue that mentorship with the young backstop.
