TAMPA -- The New York Yankees and left-hander Ryan Yarbrough have agreed on a one-year contract, the pitcher confirmed to ESPN on Monday.
The deal is worth $2 million guaranteed with another $250,000 in performance bonuses, a source told ESPN.
Yarbrough, 33, had been with the Toronto Blue Jays in spring training before opting out of his contract Sunday because he was informed that he wouldn't make the team's Opening Day roster. Yarbrough said the agreement came together between Sunday night and Monday morning. He said he chose the Yankees over other clubs.
