On this day in 2009 Nick Johnson signed a one year deal worth
$5.75 million to return to the New York Yankees. Johnson would come back to be
the DH after Hideki Matsui was let walk to the Angels. Johnson was traded
before the 2004 season for Javier Vazquez the first time.
Also on this day in 2008 the Yankees also signed first basemen
Mark Teixeira to a eight year contract worth $180 million. Teixeira was coming
off a season in which he posted a .308 batting average with 33 home runs and
121 RBI's. Teixeira joins recently signed AJ Burnett and CC Sabathia as big
names the Yankees have signed this offseason.
Finally on this day in 2005 the New York Yankees introduced
their clean shaven Johnny Damon to the fans and media at Yankee Stadium. Damon
was one year removed from the cavemen 2004 World Series Boston Red Sox
championship team and signed a four year deal worth $52 million.
Also a big thank you, I’m flattered, to the SD Yankees Report
who steals these posts from me word for word every single day without any
recognition. Plagiarism is against the law, just saying.
