1 year, 3.75 million. Once more, to lazy to post a link for such a worthless signing.

The New York Yankees finalized a $3.75 million, one-year contract with LaTroy Hawkins on Thursday, strengthening their weak middle relief with the veteran right-hander.

 

I wouldn't say they've strengthened their middle relief just yet

I thought this happened weeks ago. The move is even more awful if Yankee management had time to mull it over before pulling the trigger.

Yanks ALWAYS officially announce their deals about 2 weeks to 1 month after the deals are reportedly done.

Luckily for the Yanks LaTroy performs well in high stress situations. He'll fit right in in NYC... oh wait a minute... THAT LaTroy. Nevermind.

"Put down the cofee LaTroy! Coffee is for closers!" Ah those were the good ole days

He thought Chicago was high-stress. Wait until the Yankee fans get a good dose of him. LaTroy will be in the corner, fetal-position sucking his thumb.

I think he'll be fine in middle relief for the Yankees. The contract is practically no risk for a team like the Yankees. He'll be getting about 2% of the team's payroll while pitching around 4% of their innings. And they were a team that needed some bullpen reworking anyway.

Exactly what I was thinking.
