MLB.com: Yankees reportedly sign Sexson
NEW YORK—Looking to add some thump to their lineup against left-handed pitching, the Yankees have added slugger Richie Sexson for the remainder of the season, according to multiple reports.
Sexson was released by the Seattle Mariners on July 10 and cleared waivers, making him a free agent. The Yankees have not officially confirmed the deal.
A first baseman by trade, Sexson would help complement Jason Giambi in the Yankees’ infield, with the right-handed-batting Sexson playing against left-handed starting pitching. He batted .344 with five home runs in 61 at-bats against lefties for Seattle before his release.
Big Sexy is getting fitted for pinstripes. I guess it couldn’t hurt at this point.
