Freddy Garcia, Yankees Reportedly Agree to Minor League Deal

Filed under: Yankees, MLB Hot Stove, MLB Free Agency

NEW YORK (AP) -- Free agent pitcher Freddy Garcia and the New York Yankees have reached agreement on a minor league deal, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Monday night.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal has not officially been announced. The contract could be worth up to $5.1 million, and it also lets Garcia opt out by March 29.

The 35-year-old Garcia went 12-6 with a 4.64 ERA in 28 starts last season for the Chicago White Sox. The righty is a two-time All-Star and has a career record of 133-87 in 12 seasons with Seattle, Philadelphia, Detroit and the White Sox.

Spring training starts for the Yankees in two weeks in Tampa, Fla., and their rotation is still unsettled.
