Yankees To Sign Scott Sizemore
By Mark Polishuk [January 12, 2014 at 10:55am CST]
The Yankees have agreed to a minor league contract with infielder Scott Sizemore, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports (Twitter link). Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reported earlier today that the two sides were close to an agreement. Sizemore is represented by ACES.
Sizemore missed the entire 2012 season after tearing his left ACL, and played in just two games in 2013 before suffering the same injury. The Athletics outrighted Sizemore off their 40-man roster in November and the Marlins were rumored to be interested in his services this offseason. Sizemore, 29, hit .239/.329/.382 with 14 homers over 592 career PA with the A's and Tigers in 2010-11 and was a contender to be an everyday player for Oakland before his knee injuries.
With his experience at both second and third base, Sizemore is a potential good depth fit for the Yankees' bench as the Bombers look to replace both Robinson Cano and the suspended Alex Rodriguez. Kelly Johnson is the favorite for the starting job at one of the two infield positions, with Eduardo Nunez also capable of playing both positions and Brian Roberts in the mix at second.
