1/6 Winter Ball Report

Dominican Winter League

- Melky Cabrera (Aguilas) went 1-for-5 with a RBI. He's now hitting .355.

Venezuelan Winter League

- Luis Nunez (Zulia) went 1-for-4 with a run scored.

News & Notes: The Boston Globe is reporting that Nick Green has signed a minor league deal with the Red Sox. The deal includes an invitation to spring training.

Here's some more from Chad Jennings:

Green had a bad year with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and if he were somehow sitting in my seat, he'd write the same thing. We talked about it a few times at the end of the season and when he was clearly frustrated. Although he hit 12 home runs -- a solid number for a shortstop/second baseman -- he batted just .233 and made a team-high 19 errors. By his standards, it wasn't good.

Here's a full list of Yankees playing in the Venezuelan, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Dominican winter leagues:
