11/04: Yankees Sign Sergio Mitre to Minor League Deal
Posted by: Patrick
Bryan Hoch reports:
The deal is worth $1.25 million and it includes a team option for 2010. Mitre's career has been split between the Cubs and the Marlins. In 78 games (52 started), he is 10-23 with a 5.36 ERA and 1.55 WHIP.
Mitre, who turns 28 in February, is recovering from Tommy John ligament replacement surgery in July and was a member of Girardi's stable in 2006, when both were in Florida Marlins uniforms.
"We've agreed in principle to a Minor League contract," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "He's rehabbing from Tommy John and he's on a Minor League contract, so it doesn't really affect anything on the Major League side. We hope someday it could."
