LAKELAND, Fla. – The New York Yankees signed journeyman Tony Fossas to a minor-league contract Thursday as they continue their search for a second left-handed reliever. Fossas, 41, will make $410,000 with a chance for $150,000 in bonuses if he makes the major league roster. He has an agreement with the Yankees that he will be released instead of pitching in the minors if he does not make the team.
From Joe: The Rangers had conditionally released Tony a couple of days ago, saying “if the season were to start today, you wouldn’t be on the roster”. Signed with the Yankees. I don’t see them in need of Fossas on the major league level at all.
