The New York Yankees have made a few major moves already this offseason, but they also have added depth in smaller moves.

New York has made plenty of headlines already this offseason with its acquisitions of outfielders Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo but still needs to add. The Yankees won just 82 games last year and one of the biggest reasons why they struggled was their depth.

The Yankees dealt with a wide range of injuries and they led to the club's depth being tested. While the Yankees have added some star power this offseason already, the club still needs to have more depth on the roster just in case injuries pop up. 

New York did just that Friday as the club reportedly re-signed utility man Billy McKinney and pitcher Anthony Misiewicz to minor league deals, according to YES Network's Jack Curry.

"Billy McKinney and Anthony Misiewicz have signed minor league deals with the Yankees," Curry said.

McKinney appeared in 48 games last season with the Yankees and saw time in left field, center field, right field, and first base. The 29-year-old clubbed six home runs, drove in 14 runs, and slashed .227/.320/.406.

Misiewicz only appeared in three games at the big league level with New York last season and logged a 3.38 ERA while allowing one earned run in 2 2/3 innings pitched.

At this point, neither McKinney nor Misiewicz are expected to have large roles with the big league club in 2024 but it could never hurt to add depth with big league experience to help out at the minor league level.
