Yankees re-sign Paul Blackburn to one year, $2M deal in latest low-cost move

The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.

In a move that offers low-cost depth and flexibility, but will hardly satisfy the fan base’s quench for a big move, the Yankees agreed to re-sign Paul Blackburn on a one-year, $2 million contract on Saturday night, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.

Blackburn’s deal comes with a possible $500,000 in incentives, with the right-hander eligible to earn $100,000 each if he hits 80, 90, 100, 110 and 120 innings.

That is of note because Blackburn offers the ability to start — which the Yankees might need early in the season as they await the returns of Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole — but also can provide innings out of the bullpen, as he did for the Yankees late last season after signing with them in August and eventually pitching well enough to make the roster for the AL wild-card series and ALDS.

In that regard, the 32-year-old Blackburn is similar to lefty Ryan Yarbrough, who re-signed for $2.5 million earlier this offseason.

It continues a trend of the Yankees running it back with players who finished last season with them, which includes Trent Grisham accepting the $22.025 million qualifying offer, picking up Tim Hill’s $3 million club option and re-signing Amed Rosario for $2.5 million.
