"The Yankees took a step to fortify their bench for next season, re-signing veteran outfielder Andruw Jones today, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity because the deal is pending a physical.

The Yankees made no secret about their desire to bring back Jones, and he made it known he shared an interest in a reunion. According to the person, Jones signed a one-year, $2 million contract, though he can make an additional $1.4 million in incentives.

In 77 games last season, Jones hit .247 with 13 homers and 33 RBI. The 34-year-old primarily came off the bench to face left-handed pitching, against which he hit .286."
