Rivera, 26, was a second-round pick of the Mariners in the 2001 amateur draft. He hit .227/.252/.333 in 159 plate appearances with Seattle from 2004 to 2006, and spent the last two seasons in the Dodgers and Mets' systems, respectively.This is a depth move by the Yanks, who needed another catcher in Scranton since Chad Moeller was called up.
