Yankees to take on Berkman's contract
Lance Berkman - 1B - Houston Astros
July 30, 2010 - 5:30 PM ET
The Yankees will take on the rest of Lance Berkman's contract as part of the expected deal with the Astros.
In return, they won't have to give up any premium prospects in order to bring in the 34-year-old switch-hitter as their primary DH. David Adams and Ivan Nova have seen their names as come up as possibilities. Adams, a second baseman, was mentioned prominently in the Cliff Lee talks with the Mariners before that deal died.
