Yankees spring training: What happened on and off practice fields Thursday (VIDEOS)

TAMPA -- Thursday was day 2 of spring training for Yankees pitchers and catchers at Steinbrenner Field, and another workout day for elsewhere else across Dale Mabry Highway at the minor-league complex.

Here's some of you missed:

The Yankees finally announced the signing of slugging first baseman Chris Carter.

Carter, who tied for the NL lead with 41 homers playing for Milwaukee in 2016, agreed on Feb. 6 to a one-year, $3.5 million contract for 2017.

Carter hasn't hit the practice field yet as a Yankee, but was at the minor-league complex greeting future teammates one day later week, first baseman/outfielder Tyler Austin told NJ Advance Media.
