It's a day of additions, as the Yankees made a move that hardly anyone expected by signing Neil Walker to a one-year deal, something that had been talked about earlier in the winter, but the possibility of which had seemed to evaporate when the Yankees traded for Brandon Drury.

After some thoughts from Jesse Spector on the move in the opening, "The Empire Claps Back" host Omari Brown is on for his Locked On Yankees debut, talking about the same, and also introducing himself.

It's a pleasure to have him aboard!
