THE YANKEES LOST THEIR SHOT WITH MARK REYNOLDS

We are probably hours away from Mark Reynolds signing with the Milwaukee Brewers.  That information comes from Adam McCalvy of MLB.com:

A good source confirms #Brewers are close to signing Mark Reynolds to be the everyday first baseman. Story coming to the site.

Now, it is true that the Yankees were more interested in giving Mark Reynolds a minor league deal instead of a contract in the bigs, and to me, that makes no sense.  It made better sense from my perspective to sign him to a major league deal so he could man 3rd for us and occasionally 1st is Mark Teixeira couldn't handle it.  Remember, Mark still isn't 100%... read that HERE.

Instead we have a hodgepodge situation over there. I know, I know, the Yankees aren't really spending any BIG money until they know what's happening with Masahiro Tanaka, but still, it was a no-brainer to me to sign Mark Reynolds.

When he signs with the Brewers, we'll let you know, but it appears to be coming soon.
