It’s (finally) official: Andruw Jones is a Yankee
ByAt long last, the Yankees have officially announced that they have signed outfielder Andruw Jones. The two sides originally agreed to terms about four weeks ago, but for whatever reason the signing was delayed. Jones was issued number 18 and had a locker in the clubhouse today, so it was only a matter of time.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees have designated right-hander Brian Schlitter for assignment. They claimed him off waivers from the Cubs last month, but they have more pitchers in camp on minor league contracts than they know what to do with. Schlitter was nothing more than an up-and-down guy, so he drew the short straw. I’m surprised that Reegie Corona lived to see yet another day.

it’s odd that the move wasn’t Marte to the 60 day dl considering that they waited this long to make it official.
Well it looks like Brian is Schlitter out of luck.
Hahah
beat me to it!
alternate: brian’s career is in the shlitter
It’s too bad, I heard he throws a good Schlitter.
His nickname is Bull.
Big whoop!!! What a miserable off season.
There’s the dalelama we know and love.
CasHmAN Is sO 2o03!1!!!11eleventy!!
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED.
IEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
good jokes…my guess is brian goes and gets Schlit-faced tonight.
Corona’s got to have photos of somebody in a compromising position. The only value he has is if Jeter, Cano, AND one of Pena or Nunez gets hurt.
Seems The Yankees have a lot of these delayed signings lately, is this just to justify people signing up for those “Breaking News” e-mails? Cause honestly they should title them “Shit you already know, NOW OFFICIAL!”
