Power surge for Yankees

Last year's National League home run co-leader found a new home on Tuesday when Chris Carter and the New York Yankees agreed to a one-year contract worth $3.5 million, subject to a successful physical.

The deal includes a $500,000 signing bonus, a $3 million salary and $500,000 in performance bonuses: $100,000 each for 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 plate appearances.

"I am excited to go play for a bigger market team with more national exposure," said Carter, whose career-high 41 home runs for the Milwaukee Brewers last season matched Colorado's Nolan Arenado for tops in the NL.
