The Yankees announced that outfielder Chris Denorfia has exercised his opt-out clause. Denorfia signed a minor league pact with the Yankees in early March that allowed him to exit the contract by the end of the month.
Denorfia, 36 in July, inked a one-year deal worth $2.6MM with the Cubs prior to the 2015 season. The veteran turned in a .269/.319/.373 slash line with three homers across 231 plate appearances, numbers that weren’t in line with the best work of his career. Still, he offers solid hitting against lefty pitching with a career .285/.353/.419 line in those situations.
Prior to his slide in 2014, Denorfia had a run of four solid seasons at the plate, and he was hoping to return to that form for the Bombers. Instead, he’ll presumably seek employment elsewhere with an eye on turning things around.

Hasn’t hit well against lefties the past two years. He should probably retire.

You aren’t good enough for the Yanks. The Sox could probably use you though.

Why would they want you?

You are one dumb baseball fan… And tell Ortiz we’re still waiting for him to “get back to us” regarding that failed test.

A Yankee fan admonishing PED usage? ROFL, the comments section on this site never fails at comedic relief.

I think the argument is that bigpapi4ever say Ortiz never used ANY PEDS of any kind. It is widely known on these threads bigpapi is a troll and no one said the Yankee;s are clean from ped users. Every team had and more then likely still has ped users of some kind. Just pointing out to this troll a fact.

In other words youre falling for his bait? Im well aware of the guys trolling and everyones inability to constantly stop falling for it multiple times a day and between his and other hypocritical fans comments I stated that this site never fails to bring the comedy.. Bigpapi4ever isnt even a Sox fan. No true fan of any team would seriously embarrass himself continually with the comments he makes..

Same with No-mah. Guy was a twig one year then the Hulk on the cover of sports illustrated the next.
