Eric Chavez - 3B - New York Yankees

John Gambadoro of 620 KTAR in Phoenix reports that the Diamondbacks have signed infielder Eric Chavez to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Chavez is expected to platoon with Chris Johnson at third base after batting .281/.348/.496 with 16 home runs and an .845 OPS this past season. With Chavez and Jeff Keppinger now off the board, the Yankees are quickly running out of stop-gap options for Alex Rodriguez at third base.
