Clark Signs with Yankees First Free Agent Move Since 1985
Jack Clark agreed to a two year $3 million contract with the New York Yankees making him the first major free agent to switch teams since market tightening in 1985. Clark, 32, hit 35 homers and 106 RBIs for the St. Louis Cardinals last season and will be the Yankees designated hitter with some outfield duty. He earns $1.5 million annually with incentives tied to games played after four straight DL stints and missing last year’s World Series with a right ankle injury. The Cardinals offered a similar $3 million two year pact but Clark rejected arbitration to join New York.
