Source: RotoWorld.comCuban defector Juan Miranda said he has signed a four-year, $2 million contract with the Yankees.
Miranda defected to the Dominican Republic in 2004 and gained citizenship last year. The left-handed hitter claims he's 23, but is probably older. He's capable of playing first base and some outfield. Miranda said he picked the Yankees over the Dodgers. "Miranda is projected to hit over 20 home runs and hit .280," a Yankees official told ESPNdeportes.com. "He doesn't swing at bad pitches." Time will tell about that. He seems like a long shot to contribute next season.
