Hello friends. :) According to the New York Post, Freddy Garcia can make up to 5.5 million dollars next year.

Freddy Garcia can make up to $5,575,000 with the Yankees.
The 35-year-old right-hander is guaranteed $4 million under the one-year contract that was finalized Friday. He would make $250,000 each for 25, 27, 29 and 30 starts, plus $275,000 for his 31st start and $300,000 for his 32nd start.

Garcia was 12-8 with a 3.62 ERA in 25 starts and one relief appearance last season. He had a $1.5 million base salary and made an additional $1.85 million in performance bonuses for a total of $3.35 million.

If he stays healthy, not a bad deal for the Yankees!
