There is a sixth year vesting option in this deal, and it is possible that the deal will reach 6 years, $100 million dollars. There is also a full no trade clause, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
I like this deal for the Yankees. McCann is a powerful catcher, and I expect his power to increase with the Yankees because Yankee Stadium is easier to hit in than Turner Field in Atlanta.
