A scant three weeks before Christmas, the New York Yankees signed Matt Holliday for one year and $13 million, per FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman.
I will spare you the painfully obvious holiday/Holliday puns.
It's a solid move for the Yanks, who are in the midst of a youth movement but also seeking to win now.
New York whiffed on outfielder/designated hitter Carlos Beltran when he signed with the Houston Astros for one year and $16 million on Saturday.
The Yankees dealt Beltran to the Texas Rangers at the 2016 trade deadline but were interested in bringing the veteran switch-hitter back.
