‘Round the Bases…

by Anthony Amobi

* Jorge Posada and the New York Yankees finalized their $52.4 million, four-year contract on Thursday, more than two weeks after the All-Star catcher and the team reached a preliminary agreement on the deal.

* Francisco Cordero and the Reds finalized a four-year, $46 million contract.

* Reliever Yasuhiko Yabuta has agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with the Kansas City Royals. A 34-year-old right-hander, Yabuta spent 12 seasons with the Pacific League’s Chiba Lotte Marines, who are managed by Bobby Valentine.

* Jon Lester, who came back from a cancer diagnosis in 2006 to win this year’s World Series clincher for Boston, was honored Wednesday with the Tony Conigliaro Award for overcoming adversity through spirit, determination and courage.

* Sources say that 38-year old Troy Percival, who is on the comeback trail after a decent year with the St. Louis Cardinals, is close to completing a multiyear contract with the Rays.
