The Yankees have re-signed OF Andruw Jones to a one-year, $2 million contract. The 34-year-old Jones batted .247 with an impressive 13 homers and 33 runs batted in in only 77 games last season for the Yankees, including a .286 batting average and 16 extra base hits against lefties. Jones, who could platoon in left field with LF Brett Gardner, also stands to make an additional $1.4 million in incentives. Jones now has 420 career home runs, and is one of only four players in baseball history with at least 400 home runs and at least ten Gold Gloves (Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Mike Schmidt).
The Yankees 40-man roster is now full.
