TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees have signed outfielder Chris Denorfia to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Spring Training, general manager Brian Cashman said on Wednesday.
Denorfia, 35, batted .264/.314/.363 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 103 games for the Cubs last season. Cashman said that the Yankees wanted to add a right-handed-hitting veteran to their outfield mix.
"You'll see him over here at some point in the next week to 10 days in game activities," Cashman said of Denorfia, who is a lifetime .271 hitter in 10 big league seasons with the Padres, Athletics, Reds, Cubs and Mariners.
