The Rockies have signed Reid Brignac to a minor league deal, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (via Twitter). The infielder will report to the club's Triple-A affiliate.
Brignac was designated for assignment by the Rockies in May and traded to the Yankees for $75K in cash within the ten day window. However, the veteran elected free agency from the Bombers yesterday, giving Colorado an opportunity to welcome him back. In 98 combined plate appearances for the two clubs, the 27-year-old posted a slash line of.185/.219/.261 this season. For his career, the long-time Rays prospect has a .221/.262/.311 batting line in 814 career plate appearances.
