Yankees, Gardner agree on one-year deal

The longest-tenured current Yankee is keeping his pinstripes. Brett Gardner came to terms with the Yankees on a one-year contract on Wednesday after the club declined the 2019 option on his previous deal.

According to a source, Gardner will earn $9.5 million next season -- a $7.5 million base salary, plus a $2 million buyout payable as the Yankees did not pick up his $12.5 million option.
