According to SI's Jon Heyman the New York Yankees have won the negotiating rights for Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima. Heyman tweeted the Yanks paid $2million for the rights. The Yankees now have 30 days to work out a deal with Nakajima, the 29-year-old who last season hit .297 for the Seibu Lions.
Obviously we all know the Yankee SS position is occupied by a player, you might have heard of him...Derek Jeter! But, should the Yankees land Nakajima he would definitely fit the role of utility infielder quite nicely.
