Here\u2019s what people were saying about the signing:<\/p>\n

@LombardIsKing_:<\/a> \u201cOk so I\u2019m thinking Yankees lineup today should prolly be DH Goldy 1B Rice LF Bellinger 2B Rosario RF Jones SS Caballero CF Grisham 3B Schumann C Sanchez\u201d<\/p>\n

@Ddsadyyzx3sj2:<\/a> \u201cHe was hitting well in AAA for a while but came back to earth and is hitting .227. Not sure if he is the answer but I hope he hits decently.\u201d<\/p>\n

@richrita825:<\/a> \u201cBeen on 6 teams in 6 years. Career WAR in the negative. This will solve all their problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

@Benriceloverr:<\/a> \u201cThat\u2019s cool but wells was the one who needed to be sent down\u201d<\/p>\n

@DrinkyUncle<\/a>: \u201cPlease tell me Wells is out of the lineup today.\u201d<\/p>\n
