Ike Davis

Yankees close to signing Ike Davis

The New York Yankees are "on (the) verge) of signing first baseman Ike Davis according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News.

What It Means:

Davis opted out of his minor league deal with the Rangers on Sunday, and this report confirms what most were suspecting. With the injuries the Yankees have gone through at first base, Davis will eventually give New York another option at first base.

Davis batted .268/.350/.437 with four homers at Triple-A Round Rock this season. In 239 plate appearances with the Oakland Athletics last season, Davis posted a .288 wOBA with three homers, finishing with -0.4 Wins Above Replacement.
