Right-hander Corey Kluber and the New York Yankees are finalizing a one-year, $11 million deal that would bring the two-time AL Cy Young winner to the Bronx, pending a physical, sources familiar with the agreement told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Kluber's first season with the Texas Rangers came to an abrupt halt when the two-time Cy Young Award winner suffered a tear in his shoulder muscle just 18 pitches into his only start for the team in 2020. It was Kluber's first start since suffering a broken right forearm when he was hit by a line drive on May 1, 2019.
