The Yankees sign free agent Randy Winn to a one-year deal to be their left fielder this season. This move comes as the Yanks’ 2009 starter, Johnny Damon, is still unsigned. However, GM Brian Cashman states that the team has now reached its payroll limit and that Damon is simply too expensive. Damon will end up with Detroit.

Pitcher Tim Redding signs a minor league deal with the Colorado Rockies. He was 3-6 with a 5.10 ERA for the Mets last season.
