Analysis:
Whitley pitched in parts of two seasons with the Yankees and was underwhelming, posting a 5.02 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 95 innings with the club in 2014-15. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May and likely won't be back until the end of next season, but the 26-year-old did put together a stellar 2.01 ERA and 0.96 WHIP with Triple-A Scranton just two years ago, so there's still some intrigue in the right-hander.
