NY Post | Mark W. Sanchez: Masahiro Tanaka is getting another ex-Yankee as his teammate over in Japan. The Rakuten Golden Eagles came to an agreement with former Yankee farmhand Chris Gitten this week. Gitten showed promise in Triple-A as a slugging first baseman, earning the nickname Hard Hittin’ Chris Gitten, but struggled while getting a cup of coffee in the majors.
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Speaking of former Yankees going abroad, we’ve got another one. Socrates Brito, another member of the Yankees’ Triple-A team for most of the past season, is heading out to the KBO and signing with the KIA Tigers.
