Curtis Heading Over To Queens From The Boogie In Big New York Mets Acquisition.
Following the Seattle Mariners striking a jackpot deal with Robinson Cano for a 10-year, $240 million dollar deal, the Yankees have lost their 2nd former player today being center fielder Curtis Granderson. Like Cano, Curtis will be hanging up his pinstripes for a new change of scenery over in Queens to play for the New York Mets. This is a blockbuster deal for the Mets in an sense of them being in need for some crucial hitting in their weak lineup.
Last week, they added fellow outfielder Chris Young to the team for a one-year, $7.25 million contract. Granderson, who sat out most of the 2013 season with a broken forearm and a pinkie injury, will come into 2014 a refreshed and rejuvenated player at the age of 32 with aspirations of going back to his 2010 and 2011 prime years with the Yankees.
