Yankees sign Rene Rivera

According to Multiple Sources, the New York Yankees have signed catcher and former Met Rene Rivera to a minor league contract.Rivera who is 26 will report to Triple A Scranton. He has not had to much Major League experience., as he started his career with the Seattle Mariners in 2004 and played his last major league game in 2006. He was then brought to Spring Training by the Mets, but was later released.

I am guessing they just want to bring in a guy that has experience rather than rush Jesus Montero to help out Francisco Cervelli until Jorge Posada returns.
