Yankees decline $1.25 million option on Mitre
NEW YORK (AP) The New York Yankees have declined a $1.25 million option on pitcher Sergio Mitre.
The right-hander was not on the Yankees' postseason roster. Mitre now becomes eligible for salary arbitration.
The 28-year-old Mitre had elbow ligament replacement surgery in July 2008 and agreed to a minor league contract with the Yankees last offseason. He sat out the first 50 games while serving a suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
Mitre joined the Yankees in late July and went 3-3 with a 6.79 ERA in nine starts and three relief appearances.
