Look for a contract that will provide security for your family.
Although negotiations are ongoing, Panamanian infielder José Caballero is reportedly close to signing with the New York Yankees for a sum between $2.3 and $2.5 million, a good figure for the player from Los Santos who has stolen the show since arriving at the most high-profile team in Major League Baseball. Caballero, who hopes to define his future before January 18, is on vacation, but is working on his contract. According to MLB Trade Rumors, the Yankees are projected to have around $ 42.3 million in arbitration.
‘Chema’ as he is affectionately called, arrived in New York on July 30, on loan from the Tampa Bay Rays. New organization, new challenge that he gallantly accepted, taking seriously the responsibility of putting on that striped uniform that so many stars have defended. Last November the team offered him a contract, because all that remains is to finalize the agreement. With the Yankees he played 40 games batting .266, the product of 21 hits, six doubles and three home runs, nine RBIs, received 14 walks and stole 15 stolen bases in 18 attempts. In total, he stole 49 bases in the campaign, finishing as the leader in that department in the Major Leagues.
