(The Sports Xchange) - The New
York Yankees officially re-signed left-hander CC Sabathia to a
one-year contract, the team announced Tuesday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but multiple reports had the
deal listed for $10 million.
Sabathia is coming off a roller-coaster season in which he suffered
what might have been a career-ending knee injury in August. But the
37-year-old bounced back to anchor a rotation that carried the
Yankees to the seventh game of the American League Championship
Series.
Sabathia finished last season with a 14-5 record and a 3.69 ERA in
27 starts. He owns a 120-73 mark with a 3.75 ERA in 255 starts over
nine seasons with the Yankees.

The Minnesota Twins signed veteran left-handed reliever Zach Duke to
a one-year contract, the team announced.
Duke, 34, went 1-1 with a 3.93 ERA in 27 appearances for the St.
Louis Cardinals last season after returning midway through the
campaign from Tommy John surgery.
The former 2009 All-Star with the Pittsburgh Pirates will be playing
for his eighth different team -- and his seventh in the past eight
seasons.
He is 61-85 with a 4.54 ERA in 468 appearances (169 starts) with the
Pirates (2005-10), Arizona Diamondbacks (2011), Washington Nationals
(2012-13), Cincinnati Reds (2013), Milwaukee Brewers (2014), Chicago
White Sox (2015-16) and St. Louis Cardinals (2016-17).

The Cincinnati Reds signed right-handed reliever Jared Hughes to a
two-year contract, the team announced.
The deal is reportedly worth $4.5 million. There is also a $3
million club option for 2020 with a buyout of $250,000.
Hughes, 32, went 5-3 with a 3.02 ERA for the Milwaukee Brewers last
season. He spent his first six seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates
before joining the Brewers. He has a 20-16 record and 2.86 ERA in
380 career relief appearances.
