Earlier today, it was reported that the Yankees were “keeping tabs” on free agent 1B/DH Chris Carter. Now, it appears as if the 30-year-old slugger will don pinstripes for 2017.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees and Carter have agreed to a one-year, $3 million deal, pending a physical. Carter will receive a $500,000 signing bonus and can make $100K each for 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 PAs. The Yankees have yet to confirm that a deal is in place.
