YANKEES STRIKE FREE AGENCY

Early this morning, the New York Yankees have strucken the Free Agent Market. Closer Danny Graves was on the market, searching for a place to call his home. New York seems to be that place. The Yankees inked Graves for 300k as a one year deal. Graves, who closed last season for the Cincinatti Reds was released about two weeks ago. Graves recorded 41 saves last year, but internal feuds led to his release from Cincinatti. Graves will accompany the newly acquired Danys Baez, and Francisco Cordero to make the Yankees bullpen a lot better than it was earlier on this season. Graves being a flamethrower (95-99 mph) makes him a threat late in games. Graves is a 3.5 star veteran with an endurance rating of 55.
