River Ave. Blues » Sweaty Freddy passes his physical, gets sweaty

Sweaty Freddy passes his physical, gets sweaty

Sherman: Yankees will watch Zumaya's showcase next week
Linkage: Yankees remain quiet at MLB Winter Meetings

Via David Waldstein, Freddy Garcia has passed his physical, so his new one-year deal worth $4M (plus incentives) could be made official any day now. The two sides are still working out some contract language, but I think that’s just code for “we don’t want to fill our last open 40-man roster spot before Thursday’s Rule 5 Draft.”

Physicals are usually routine, but they’re a little bit more than that when it comes to pitchers like Freddy, guys with major shoulder problems in the not-too-distant past.  That said, it’s not like Garcia’s going to unexpectedly lose his stuff all of a sudden — a la Javy Vazquez in the second half of 2010 — it’s pretty much all gone already.
