Yankees Daily

Nearly two months after Major League Baseball lifted his suspension, Dominican center fielder Eladio Moronta has signed with the New York Yankees, a team official confirmed today.

MLB had suspended Moronta for one year earlier this year for misrepresenting his age, then lifted the suspension on September 28 after Moronta admitted he was 20 years old, not 17.

Moronta, who turns 21 on December 16, is a 6-foot-1, 183-pound righthanded hitter with plus-plus speed, a strong arm and projectable power.
