The Yankees and Jacoby Ellsbury have closed in on a seven-year deal for Jacoby Ellsbury
The Yankees' deal with Ellsbury is done, pending a physical. I'm told the contract is bigger than Crawford's 7 year/$142M deal.

Yankees deal with Ellsbury is seven years and $153 million. That's $12 million more than Crawford's contract.

The Yankees expectation is to have Ellsbury in the centerfield, in replacement of Curtis Granderson.
A dynamic move for the Yankees who are back to breaking open the bank this off season, despite the back and forth talks with Cano.
