11/10: First to Bolt: Bubba
Bubba Crosby became the first
Yankees free agent to bolt as he is headed to the Reds at a rate of $400,000 for 1 year.
By signing him to a Major League deal, Cincinnati protected Crosby on its 40-man roster. But he's not assured a 25-man roster spot for Opening Day 2007. The 30-year-old will go to Spring Training and compete for a job as a reserve outfielder.
Always seemed like a nice guy. Good luck, Bubba.
