NEW YORK (AP) - Marcus Thames has agreed to a minor league
contract with the New York Yankees, who also finalized a $1.1
million, one-year deal with Randy Winn to give themselves more left
field options.
Thames, who turns 33 next month, began his major league career
with the Yankees in 2002 and homered on his first big league pitch
that June 10 off Arizona's Randy Johnson. Thames was traded to
Texas in June 2003 for Ruben Sierra, then let go by the Rangers
after the season.
He spent the last six seasons with Detroit and hit .252 with 13
homers and 36 RBIs last year, down from 25 homers and 56 RBIs the
previous season. He would get a $900,000, one-year contract if
added to the 40-man roster.
