Morgan Ensberg was so excited about the chance to play for the Yankees that he was willing to make a switch to first base, according to an Associated Press report.
"The opportunity to hit in that lineup is really appealing to me," he said Thursday after agreeing to a minor-league deal. "This team, obviously, always competes for a championship."
Ensberg would get a $1.75M, one-year contract if added to the 40-man roster and would have a chance to earn $2.25M more in bonuses.
