New York Yankees signs Hiroki Kuroda for $10 million

The New York Yankees made a major push to bolster their starting rotation Friday, agreeing to terms with former Dodgers right-hander Hiroki Kuroda on a $10-million, one-year contract shortly after acquiring right-hander Michael Pineda from the Seattle Mariners.

A person familiar with Kuroda’s signing told the Associated Press the deal is contingent on the 36-year-old passing a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the signing has not been announced. Hiroki Kuroda was 13-16 with a 3.07 earned-run average for the Dodgers last season.
