YANKEES hand OF GARDNER $52 million extension...YANKS OF Depth Chart Opening Day 2K14...A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report with BRONX Zoo Business #Team27Chips #YANKS #Pinstripes #BronxBOMBERS

Everyone is wondering what the Carmines are going to do with Infielder Stephen Drew as some have suggested the Yanks grab him for insurance for Derek Jeter. Meanwhile the Yanks Free Spending continues although this makes a ton of sense as this young man brings some serious Leather to the Park every 162.

The Yankees have through numerous media outlets agreed to a four-year contract worth a reported $52 million to OF Brett Gardner. Gardner just 30m years of age has spent his last six seasons with the Bombers and his homegrown. The Deal will kick in in the 2015 season as the Yankees have signed lucrative deals to Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran, Bob McCann, and Masahiro Tanaka to name a few this off season.

Now Gardener is a CF by Trade but can play all OF positions as the Yankees 2014 Opening Day Depth Chart should look like this in the Outfield:

Starters LF Gardner CF Ellsbury RF Beltran

Reinforcements LF Soriano CF Gardner RF Suzuki

Gardener will spell Ellsbury when Jacoby gets a day of or hits the D.L. and that is coming Yanks Nation and it's like I am the "Bear of Bad News". Soriano and Ichiro are not everyday players but they will DH and occassionally spell Gardner or Beltran in the OF.
