KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press that left-hander Gio Gonzalez and the New York Yankees have agreed to a minor league contract.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the agreement had not yet been announced.
If added to the 40-man roster, the 33-year-old Gonzalez would get a $3 million salary while in the major leagues and the chance to earn performance bonuses.
New York had been seeking more pitching following a shoulder injury to ace Luis Severino, who will not be available until May at the earliest. In addition, CC Sabathia is likely to miss the first week or two as he recovers from an offseason that included knee surgery and the insertion of a stent after a blockage was found in an artery from his heart.
