Yankees Acquire Dull Bullpen Arm in Waiver Move With Giants

Talk about a boring move! I'll be here all night.

The New York Yankees' bullpen is one of the most electric in all of baseball, so maybe they're trying to temper expectations. In all seriousness, New York is well aware that they can't have enough help in the 'pen, especially with the playoffs approaching.

With this idea in mind, New York has acquired Ryan Dull of the San Francisco Giants in a waiver move.

The Yankees have opted to place Dull on their 40-man roster, and option RHP Brady Lail to make room. Dull spent the majority of his career with the Oakland A's, and he has a career 4.08 ERA. Yet, he failed to make an appearance with the Giants, and thus was shipped to New York where he hopes to earn an opportunity.

Dull, age 29, does have some potential considering his high K/9 rate, although he has yet to show much of that in the big leagues.

In 32 appearances between Triple-A Las Vegas and Sacramento, Dull logged a 5.70 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 14 walks in 42.2 innings of work.
