Report: Juan Gonzalez Signs With Yankees?
El Vocero, one of the bigger newspapers in Puerto Rico, is reporting that the Yankees signed Juan Gonzalez to a two-year, $2MM deal. This report definitely makes me raise an eyebrow, for three reasons:
* In both 2006 and 2005, odd reports surfaced about teams being interested in Gonzalez, only to have the teams publically deny interest a day or two later.
* It seems absurd to give Gonzalez two years or $2MM when he hasn't played in the Majors since that one at-bat in 2005. He's 38 currently.
* The Yankees would seem the last team with room for another DH.

This was a moron move on the Yankees part. 2 mil is nothing to them and its a good low risk/high reward move, but why 2 years?
