Maeda agreed to a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis
Maeda didn't take long to find a new home, reaching an agreement with the Yankees just two days after being cut by the Cubs. The veteran right-hander didn't receive a promotion to the Cubs after working out of the Triple-A Iowa rotation and logging a 3.55 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 41:18 K:BB across 50.2 innings. The veteran right-hander will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but he could be called up by the Yankees to serve in either the rotation or bullpen as the season winds down.
