MICHAEL PINEDA & THE YANKEES AVOID "STUFF"

IVAN NOVA & THE YANKEES DID SOMETHING TODAY

There is more news about players avoiding arbitration. According to several reports, but we'll go with NJ.com on this one:

"The team announced that it has reached one-year deals with... David Carpenter... The Yankees have also reached a deal with Nathan Eovaldi for one year and $3.3 million, according to multiple reports.

The Yankees acquired Carpenter on New Years Day from the Braves in a trade for Manny Banuelos."

Good for Nathan and Carpenter.  So... can we play ball already???
