Free agent shortstop Spike Owen and the New York Yankees reached agreement on a three-year, $7-million contract.
Owen, 31, has been the Montreal Expos’ shortstop for four years, and twice led the league in fielding.
The Yankees, meanwhile, said they have not withdrawn an offer to free agent outfielder Barry Bonds, who played last season for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Bonds reportedly turned down a Yankee offer of $38 million over five years, seeking a sixth year.
