DJ LeMahieu has reached an agreement with the New York Yankees on a two-year, $24 million deal, league sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

LeMahieu will join the Yankees after seven impressive seasons with the Colorado Rockies that included two All-Star selections, three Gold Glove Awards and the 2016 National League batting title.

American League MVP Mookie Betts, who went to a salary arbitration hearing and beat the Boston Red Sox last year, on Friday settled for $20 million this time around.

The $20 million sets a new standard for players with four or more years of service, and it almost doubles the salary for Betts, who was awarded $10.5 million in 2017 after the Red Sox had countered with a $7.5 million offer.

NL Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom and the New York Mets agreed to a $17 million, one-year contract, a record raise for an arbitration-eligible player from his $7.4 million salary.

The deal was agreed to Friday before the pitcher and team were to exchange proposed salaries in arbitration. It also set a mark for a pitcher eligible for arbitration for the third time.

Reliever Zach Britton agreed to a three-year, $39 million deal to return to the New York Yankees on Saturday, league sources told ESPN, fortifying one of the game's best bullpens after it lost reliever David Robertson in free agency earlier in the week.

Britton's deal includes both a club option and a potential player opt-out, according to sources. The Yankees can exercise a fourth-year option after the 2020 season worth $14 million, making the total value of the deal up to $53 million, sources said.

Michael Saunders has signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies.

Saunders is expected to be with the Major League club for spring training.

The 32-year-old last played in the Majors in 2017 with the Toronto Blue Jays.

The New York Yankees have agreed to a deal with Troy Tulowitzki, according to sources.

The deal, which is pending a completed physical, doesn't take the Yankees out of the race to sign Manny Machado.

Tulowitzki was released by the Toronto Blue Jays in December. They will pay the majority of his $20 million contract, with the Yankees responsible only for the league-minimum $555,000.

Injuries have limited Tulowitzki to just 66 games the last two years, including none last season.

Japanese left-hander Yusei Kikuchi agreed to a deal with the Seattle Mariners late Monday night, delivering a New Year's surprise for a team that has traded a number of foundational pieces already this winter, league sources familiar with the deal told ESPN.
