Pitcher Sergio Mitre avoids salary arbitration, agreeing to $850,000 deal with the Yankees. Contract includes some performance incentives.This is a decent move for the Yanks. Mitre could be valuable if and when the Yanks lose a starter to an injury. Like I always say, you can never have too much pitching.
Two more bits of info for you:
- The entire Yankees coaching staff will be back next year.
- Eric Hinske agreed to a one-year deal with the Braves.
