Chris Carter
Free agent first baseman Chris Carter, who tied for the National League home run lead last season with the Milwaukee Brewers, has agreed to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the New York Yankees on Tuesday.
The new deal is subject to Carter passing a physical and includes a $500,000 signing bonus, a $3 million salary and $500,000 in performance incentives.
Carter clubbed 41 home runs last season, matching Colorado’s Nolan Arenado for the National League lead. The Brewers decided not to offer Carter a contract after last season.
