UPDATE: FREDDY GARCIA SIGNS WITH YANKEES

UPDATE: Garcia will get $1.5 million if he makes the Yanks major league team. He can also make more dough, $3.6 million in possible incentives. This is according to ESPN.com.

Garcia has a career 133-87 record with a 4.13 ERA in 12 seasons.

Garcia was 12-6 with the White Sox in 2010.

UPDATE: From MLB Trade Rumors: "Garcia joins the likes of Bartolo Colon, Andrew Brackman, Ivan Nova, Sergio Mitre and Mark Prior in the battle for the final two starting spots in the Yankee rotation. This competition could be limited to just the number five spot, of course, should Pettitte announce his return."
