The organization wasn't expected to announce any non-tenders until Wednesday, but reports indicated that the Yankees reached an agreement with the 29-year-old Rogers on Tuesday evening. Rogers will be guaranteed $750,000 and can earn as much as $1.48 million with incentives, according to contract figures obtained by CBS Sports.
Rogers joined the Yankees as a waiver claim from the Blue Jays last July 31, logging a 4.68 ERA in 18 appearances during a campaign in which he earned $1.85 million. At the time of his acquisition, manager Joe Girardi indicated that the Yankees have liked Rogers' live arm for some time.
Another choice revolves around Huff, a 30-year-old left-hander, who posted a 1.85 ERA and 3-1 record in 30 appearances for the Yankees. Having worked mostly as a long reliever, Huff's contract was purchased from the Giants in early June and he earned $505,000 in 2014, making him a borderline non-tender call for the Yanks.
Their other four players seem to be good bets to receive contracts. Kelley, 30, had a 4.53 ERA in 59 appearances in 2014, showing improved strikeout and walk rates over his first Yankees season despite missing time with a back injury. Kelley earned $1.765 million and recently said he is optimistic about a new contract.
"I would assume if everything plays out normally, barring any freakish signings or trades, I'll be back with the Yankees," Kelley said. "I'm not worried at all about it, but it's also baseball, and I've been through the process a few times. I know sometimes things happen that you can't control, but I'm pretty relaxed and just waiting for the process to play out."
Nova seems to be a lock to receive a deal; managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner has spoken several times about expecting to get the right-hander back from Tommy John surgery and plugged into the big league rotation sometime after May 2015. Nova will turn 28 in January, and he had an 8.27 ERA in four starts this past year, for which he earned $3.3 million.
Pineda, who will turn 26 in January, is in line for a jump over his $538,475 salary, having shown dominant stuff when healthy. Making his first Yankees appearances after two years on the shelf, Pineda was 5-5 with a 1.89 ERA in 13 starts and projects to slot high in the rotation alongside Masahiro Tanaka and CC Sabathia next season.
Phelps, 28, earned $541,425 in 2014 and was 5-5 with a 4.38 ERA in 32 games (17 starts), bouncing between the rotation and the bullpen to fill several roles based on the Yanks' needs. He projects to head into 2015 as a swingman option, capable of competing for a starting slot, while also helping in relief.
