Yanks, Gardner agree on US$52m deal

Outfielder Brett Gardner and the New York Yankees agreed a four-year contract worth US$52 million on Sunday.

The new pact starts in 2015 and includes a fifth-year club option for US$12.5 million and a US$2 million buyout. If traded, Gardner would receive US$1 million. “It shows the level of confidence, belief and trust, and the type of player and person he is,” Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. The Yankees are moving Gardner to left field this year after the signing of center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to a US$153 million, seven-year contract in December. The 30-year-old hit .273 last year with eight home runs, 52 RBIs and 24 stolen bases.
