Dann Schafer, who looks a lot like Garrett Anderson, during ST for the Pirates in 2011.
Jordan, the current acting Yankees GM, has been the GM for just this past season, after replacing ezpkns34 and the intern GMs the followed him in 2018. One of Jordan's first moves this off season, was to sign a player who he once drafted when he served as the GM of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2010-2017. Dann Schafer who was the Pirates second round pick of the 2010 draft. The 29 year old Schafer went on to win the 2012 AL rookie of the year award, along with the 2016 AL MVP award, along with making the all-star game three times. On the 2010 draft, Jordan said: "I remember that draft, we had just picked first baseman Jamie Valdez in the first round, so we did not really want to draft another first baseman, but we realized that Schafer had just about more talent than anyone else left in the draft, that we couldn't pass up on him."
Schafer is expected to be a backup that will contend during spring training for a roster spot and will likely be used as a starter in the event of an injury to one of the starters.
The Yankees have also signed former Pirate Jordan Parraz to play for their AAA team.
