Reports: Yankees, Darren O'Day agree on one-year deal with mutual option for 2022

According to RADIO.COM MLB insider Jon Heyman and the New York Post’s Joel Sherman, the Yankees are in agreement with RHP Darren O’Day on a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2022.

Per the reports, O’Day is guaranteed to make $2.45 million; he’ll get a $1.75 million salary in 2021, and the mutual option carries a $1.4 million salary for 2022 with a $700K buyout – and if O’Day declines, the option becomes a $3.15 million team option.


O’Day, 38, has a 2.51 ERA in 604 career appearances over 13 seasons with the Angels, Mets, Rangers, Orioles, and Mets. Last season, he pitched 16 1/3 innings with the Braves, posting a 1.10 ERA and 22 strikeouts against five walks, but the Braves decided to pay him a $500K buyout rather than pick up his $3.5 million option for 2021.

The signing gives the Yankees another right-handed arm to replace the traded Adam Ottavino, and also, the $2.45 million O’Day will count against the luxury tax still leaves the Yankees $5.7 million of what they saved by dealing Ottavino to Boston to make further additions.
