"The Yankees have their pitching pieces in place, now it's time to come up with one more left-handed bat.

The Yankees officially announced yesterday the signing of free agent right-hander Hiroki Kuroda to a one-year deal worth $10 million with another million in incentives. They also announced they had come to a settlement on their last arbitration case, agreeing to a one-year contract with lefty reliever Boone Logan worth $1,875,000, just below the midpoint between the $2.1 million he had asked for in arbitration. Logan could add another $25,000 if he appears in 55 games."
