Tampa, FL (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees signed relief pitcher Gabe White to a one-year contract with a mutual option for a second year, helping the veteran lefthander and the team avoid an arbitration hearing.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. White had asked for $2.7 million in arbitration, while the Yankees offered $1.825 million.

White was 5-1 with a 4.05 ERA in 46 appearances with New York and Cincinnati last season. The 32-year old was traded to the Yankees on July 31 for cash considerations.

Entering his 10th major league season, White has accumulated a 33-23 career record and a 4.26 ERA with Montreal, Cincinnati, Colorado and New York.

White was the last of five arbitration-eligible Yankees to agree to terms.

How's White pitching? I haven't been able to watch an NYY game yet.

I don't know how he's pitching. You don't hear much about him.

Now Flash Gordon. That's a story that's worth watching.
