CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -

Travis Hafner and the Yankees have agreed to a one-year deal worth about $2 million pending the former Indians designated hitter passes a physical.

Hafner hit .228 with 12 homers and 34 RBI's for the Tribe last season.

He will be the Yankees left-handed DH and could play some first base if needed.

The Indians declined Hafner's $13 million option for 2013 allowing him to become a free agent.  The two sides had some contract talks but couldn't agree on a deal.
