Top stories from last week:
- Andruw Jones will be back in 2012, agreeing to a one-year contract worth $2M with another $1.4M available in incentives. The Yankees also signed Hideki Okajima to a minor league deal, but they’re still far apart in contract talks with Hiroyuki Nakajima.
- Alex Rodriguez underwent an experimental procedure on his right knee and left shoulder in Germany with blessings from the team and the commissioner’s office. Brian Cashman said it was more about “maintaining health going forward” than rehabbing past injuries.
- Carlos Beltran came to the Yankees and was willing to sign for two years and $26M at the last minute, but they declined and he took the same contract from the Cardinals. The Cubs are prioritizing young pitching in a Matt Garza trade. Despite reports to the contrary, the Yankees do have money to make moves according to Randy Levine.
- The Yankees will apparently wear 1912 throwback jerseys on April 20th to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park’s opening.
