Report: Yankees to sign former A's first baseman

In desperate need of a healthy first baseman, the Yankees have reached a deal with former Oakland Athletic Ike Davis, according to multiple reports.

The New York Daily News was the first to report the deal. FanRag Sports is reporting that Davis will sign a major league deal.

Davis has been released from his minor league contract with Texas. He hit .268 with four home runs and 25 RBIs for Triple-A Round Rock.

The 29-year-old played for Oakland last season, hitting .229 with three home runs and 20 RBIs.
