What are you talking about he's signed to a 2 year deal? Show me where it says that. As far as I remember Mitre signed a Minor League deal during the offseason, I dont remember anything about a guaranteed contract, nor a second year.
Edit: just went back and checked, you're half-right. Mitre signed a one year deal worth some guaranteed money with an option for next year. My mistake.
Btw, what's going on with this game? Are the umpires taking a night off or something? Why did Swisher remain at bat after he got hit in the elbow with a full count? And that ball obviously hit off of Hairston's foot, bad call by the umps. Good thing this is a blowout, otherwise Girardi might have some legitimate gripes about this game.
