Paul Blackburn, recently re-signed by the Yankees for $2 million, showcased his potential by throwing four shutout innings in a 5-1 spring training victory over the Blue Jays. The 32-year-old has not allowed a run in six spring innings, drawing praise from manager Aaron Boone for his exceptional command and efficiency. Despite a rocky previous season, Blackburn adapted his pitching mechanics and is expected to play versatile roles, likely finding more value in the bullpen.
