McCann to Yankees?

Free-agent catcher Brian McCann and the New York Yankees are about to complete a five-year deal for around $85 million, a source told the Associated Press. The contract is expected to include a vesting option for at least another year. The move would be the first major addition for the Yankees since they missed the playoffs for only the second time in 19 years. They finished fourth in the A.L. East this past season. The Yankees made finding a catcher a priority this offseason, and McCann was the best available. The seven-time All-Star played all nine of his big-league seasons with the Atlanta Braves. – Associated Press
