Didn't even remember Calhoun had been signed. Oh well - we'll see what happens as Kole Calhoun has opted out of his minor league deal. With his numbers in AAA, the Yankees never felt the need to call him up during all the struggles in left or the injuries. Veteran outfielder Kole Calhoun has exercised an out clause in his minor league deal with the Yankees, reports Jon Morosi of MLB.com. The team will have 72 hours to add him to the roster or else grant him his release, Morosi adds. The 35-year-old Calhoun has had a strong start in Scranton, slashing .293/.402/.561 with four homers, six doubles and a pair of triples in 97 trips to the plate thus far.
