According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, the New York Yankees are on the verge of signing first baseman Ike Davis. Davis, 29, was released by the Texas Rangers early this morning. He hit .268/.350/.437 (111 wRC+) with four home runs this season at their Triple-A affiliate. Last season he swatted .229/.301/.350 (83 wRC+) with three home runs for the Oakland Athletics, in limited playing time. Power is Davis's calling card. During the 2012 season with the Mets he put up a .227/.308/.462 (112 wRC+) with 32 home runs.
