TAMPA — Chris Carter admitted the waiting was the hardest part.
“Definitely started to get antsy after Feb. 1 and not sure of what is going on,’’ said Carter, who agreed to a one-year deal for $3.5 million with the Yankees last week and reported to spring training Saturday at George M. Steinbrenner Field. “It was certainly tough waiting until late in the offseason.’’
Carter, 30, led the NL lead last season with 41 homers with the Brewers, who didn’t tender him a contract. And teams shied away from signing the first baseman when he became a free agent.
