Yankees, Sergio Mitre Reach Agreement

The Yankees and pitcher Sergio Mitre avoided arbitration, reaching an agreement for $850K plus incentives tweets ESPN's Jerry Crasnick.  Mitre had Tommy John surgery in July of '08, and was released by the Marlins in September of that year.  The Yankees signed him a few months later and were able to retain him for 2010 even after declining his option.

Mitre, 29 in February, served a 50-game PED suspension as he recovered from the elbow surgery.  He ended up tossing 54.3 strong minor league innings and 51.6 ugly big league frames.  He could become trade bait if the Yankees go elsewhere for their fifth starter.
