Casey McGehee has agreed to a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Japan's Pacific League.
It's a little surprising McGehee wasn't able to find a job in the states, but it appears he likely would have had to settle for a minor league deal. It's been quite a fall for the 30-year-old, as he's just two seasons removed from a 23-homer, 104-RBI campaign. He batted only .217/.284/.358 with nine homers and a .643 OPS in 114 games this past season between the Pirates and Yankees. Fri, Dec 21, 2012 08:24:00 AM

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee has elected free agency.

McGehee was presumably removed from the 40-man roster at some point and refused a minor league assignment. The 29-year-old was almost certainly going to be non-tendered, anyway. He batted just .217/.284/.358 with nine homers and a .643 OPS in 114 games this season between the Pirates and Yankees.

According to Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York, Casey McGehee was told that he will not be on the Yankees' playoff roster.

McGehee apparently took the news hard. The veteran infielder hit just .217/.284/.358 with nine homers and 41 RBI in 114 games between the Yankees and Pirates this season.

Yankees recalled INF Casey McGehee from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

McGehee batted only .186/.234/.326 in 13 games earlier this season for the Yanks. It's possible he could see a bit of time at first base while Mark Teixeira is out.

Yankees optioned INF Casey McGehee to Class A Charleston.

He was sent down to make room for the newly-acquired Steve Pearce on the active roster. It's a bit of clever bookkeeping by the Bombers. Charleston isn't expected to head to the postseason, so the Yankees can bring him back when the team's schedule ends next week.

Casey McGehee hit his first home run as a member of the Yankees on Saturday against the Blue Jays.

McGehee, who was acquired from the Pirates on July 31, finished the day 2-for-4 with two runs scored. He clubbed a three-run shot to the second deck in left field in a four-run fourth inning. Then he doubled and came around to score in the sixth. McGehee is on the weak side of a platoon with Eric Chavez at third base with Alex Rodriguez (hand) sidelined, so he's only relevant in deeper AL-only leagues right now.

Casey McGehee will make his Yankees' debut at first base Wednesday against the Orioles.

McGehee was acquired from the Pirates on Tuesday for right-hander Chad Qualls. The Yankees are hopeful that Mark Teixeira (wrist) will be back within a few days, so McGehee figures to get most of his playing time at third base while Alex Rodriguez (hand) is on the mend. He's worth a look in AL-only leagues.

Yankees acquired 3B Casey McGehee from the Pirates for RHP Chad Qualls.

A decent low-risk, hole-filling trade for the Bombers. Qualls was beyond expandable and McGehee should at least be useful in a platoon while Alex Rodriguez mends. The 29-year-old McGehee has posted a terrible .642 OPS over the last two seasons with the Brewers and Pirates, but he's the same guy who batted .291 with an .823 OPS, 39 homers and 170 RBI between 2009-2010. If he can find a happy medium between those levels of production, New York will have made out very well.

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee had three hits, including a solo homer, in the Pirates' 6-4 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.

McGehee finished the night 3-for-5 with a run scored and pair of RBI. He lined an RBI single to center off Marco Estrada in the sixth inning to pull the Buccos to within one at 4-3, then added a valuable insurance run with his solo blast off Manny Parra in the eighth. Since the calendar flipped to June, McGehee is hitting .310 (36-for-116) with seven homers and 25 RBI in 36 games.

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts Friday against the Brewers.

McGehee was diagnosed with a strained left groin prior to the All-Star break, but remained in the starting lineup. He'll look to improve on his power numbers in the second half after entering Friday with just six home runs.

Casey McGehee left Sunday's game with a mild left groin strain.

McGehee pulled up while beating out an infield single in the sixth inning, which was his third hit of the game. While it's good that it's considered mild, he still may not be ready for the start of the second half. He was replaced by Gorkys Hernandez.

Casey McGehee hit a solo home run and drew a walk in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

McGehee's fourth inning blast off of Joe Savery was just his fourth of the season, though all four have come since June 5. Now hitting .292 to go along with 12 RBI in 23 June games, McGehee is worth a look if a frustrated NL-only league owner cut him loose.

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee went 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles.

McGehee has now had multi-hit nights in three of his seven starts this month. The problem, of course, is that he's ceding a ton of playing time to Matt Hague, and still batting just .224/.319/.344 on the year. He's miles away from mixed-league relevance.

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee went hitless Wednesday and is still without a homer in 97 at-bats this season.

The Pirates are getting little from either McGehee or Garrett Jones at first base. We'd suggest giving Matt Hague a real shot, but he's slumping in Triple-A, with a modest .277/.327/.336 line in 137 at-bats. It looks like any kind of upgrade would have to come from outside of the organization.

Casey McGehee - 1B - Player

Casey McGehee went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a strikeout in Wednesday's loss to the Nationals.

McGehee is batting just .246/.316/.333, continuing the prolonged slump that began in his final year with the Brewers. He also has zero home runs in 76 plate appearances this season, and carries no fantasy value.
