The Yankees are re-signing Amed Rosario, according to multiple Saturday reports.
YES Network’s Jack Curry first reported the deal, which is a one-year contract.
The pact is reportedly for $2.5 million. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman and The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal were among those to report the salary terms.
Rosario can earn another $250,000 in incentives, according to ESPN’s Jorge Castillo.
Rosario, 30, slashed .303/.303/.485 with one home run and five RBI in 16 regular-season games for the Yankees this past season.
He especially crushed left-handed pitching, slashing .302/.328/.491 with four home runs and 15 RBI in 52 games across two teams.
Rosario is “likely to get reps” behind third baseman Ryan McMahon, against left-handed pitching and elsewhere, Curry added.
New York landed Rosario before the 2025 MLB trade deadline in a July 26 deal with the Washington Nationals.
He signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Nats last January and slashed .270/.310/.426 with five home runs and 18 RBI in 46 games for Washington.
Rosario’s career started with the Mets. He played for New York from 2017-20 before stints with Cleveland (2021-23), the Los Angeles Dodgers (2023) and Tampa Bay (2024), Cincinnati (2024).
