New Yankee Right-Handers Sign Contracts
- Share via
NEW YORK — Right-handed pitchers Charlie Hudson and Cecilio Guante, both acquired in off-season trades, have signed one-year, non-guaranteed contracts, the New York Yankees announced.
Salary terms were not disclosed, but both players had filed for salary arbitration, and have thus avoided arbitration hearings.
Hudson, obtained from Philadelphia last month for outfielder Mike Easler and infielder Tommy Barrett, had a 7-10 record with a 4.94 earned run average last year.
Guante, acquired from Pittsburgh in November with pitchers Rick Rhoden and Pat Clements for pitchers Doug Drabek, Brian Fisher and Logan Easley, was 5-2 with a 3.35 ERA and four saves in 1986.
The signings leave first baseman Don Mattingly and outfielder Ron Kittle as the only Yankees eligible for salary arbitration proceedings.
