Right-handed reliever Brian Bruney agreed to a one-year, $725,000 contract with the Yankees on Tuesday, avoiding salary arbitration. Bruney was 3-2 with a 4.68 ERA in 58 appearances across two stints with the Yankees in 2007.

Bruney started out looking good for the Yankees last season, but then ran into some trouble later in the season. What was at first glance, an overpowering fastball…slowly became wild pitches and inconsistency.
Bruney will be challenging for the many open spots up for grabs in the Yankees bullpen this upcoming season.

Bruney was one of the arbitration cases that the Yankees had to deal with in this off season, but now there is only one case left, and that may be the most important of all… Chien-Ming Wang.
