Yankees Sign Adonis Garcia

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | May 2, 2012 at 9:21pm CDT

9:21pm: Garcia signed a one-year minor league contract worth $400K according to Marc Carig of The Star Ledger (on Sulia).

4:16pm: The Yankees have signed Cuban outfielder Adonis Garcia, Ben Badler of Baseball America reports. The 26-year-old became a free agent in February and drew interest from a number of teams.

Rumors of offers in the $16-18MM range circulated a couple of months ago, but it would be a surprise if Garcia obtains more than a couple million given Badler's description of his tools. Though he's relatively advanced as a hitter, "it's hard for scouts to see him fitting in as a big league regular," Badler writes. The outfielder spent this winter with the Magellan Navigators of the Venezuelan League.

    So, the Yankees went Jesus packing and picked up Adonis instead?

      Well, as you know, God is the father, Jesus the son.  The Yanks figured they were upgrading and getting the more powerful player.

    The Yankees are hoping they’ve found their own Cuban god after missing out on Cespedes
