Via Bryan Hoch (MLB.com), here’s Nick Swisher on joining the Yankees:
“I’ve been bouncing around from team to team the last couple of years, but, knock on wood, hopefully I’ve found a home,” Swisher said. “I really feel honored to be part of this tradition.”
Earlier this winter, there were reported trade rumblings involving Swisher, however, at the time, those rumors seemed rather unbelievable given the Yankees unsettled outfield situation and Swisher’s strong 2009 season. When one examines Swisher’s historic and projected production relative to his contract, and takes into account his age, as well as his clubhouse presence, I think it is safe to say that the right fielder has, indeed, “found a home” in the Bronx.

Swisher should likely finish his current contract (up to 2012) with the Yanks, after that who knows? his skill set doesn’t seem to play out well in terms of aging, though on the other ahnd his skill set is also likely to be underrated in general so keeping him on a affordable contract seems likely.
