It looks like the Blue Jays beat the Yankees on the free agent market:
According to an industry source Hechavarria is close to signing a $10 million deal with the Blue Jays because he didn’t envision himself playing short for the Yankees.
Hechavarria, 21, was leery of Derek Jeter’s impending extension that will keep him at short for the foreseeable future.
I would guess that over time Jeter has been a net positive in bringing free agents to the Yankees. Of course, they haven’t been trying to sign shortstops. The Blue Jays do a nice job of picking up the youngster.
