Granderson, an unrestricted free agent, reportedly has reached an accord on a four-year, $60 million contract with the New York Mets. He leaves the New York Yankees, for who he played the past four seasons.

Also on Friday, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano reportedly reached agreement with the Seattle Mariners on a 10-year, $240 million contract.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post and Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports both tweeted word of the agreement.

The Mets had offered a three-year deal, according to SI.com, but added a season to close the accord.

Granderson had consecutive 40-homer seasons with the Yankees, but last season was a downer for him and the team. He broke a forearm during spring training, and then missed with the a broken finger. He appeared in 60 games last season.


FURCAL TO MARLINS 


Rafael Furcal will try to make his comeback from elbow surgery with the Miami Marlins.

The free-agent infielder and the Marlins have agreed to terms on a contract, two people familiar with the situation said Thursday. Both people confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because it hadn't been finalized.

In addition, one of the people said, catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia passed his physical, and his $21 million, three-year deal with Miami was completed.

The 36-year-old Furcal, a three-time All-Star and the 2000 NL Rookie of the Year, sat out this season after undergoing elbow ligament-replacement surgery in March. He made the NL All-Star team as a starter at shortstop in 2012, when he batted .264 in 121 games for the Cardinals.

Furcal is a 13-year veteran and a .281 career hitter with 314 stolen bases. He's expected to compete for a starting job at second base even though he has played only 36 games at the position, most recently in 2004. Miami already has youngster Adeiny Hechavarria at shortstop.

Earlier in his career, Furcal had one of the strongest infield arms in the game.

The Marlins finished last in the majors in 2013 in runs and hitting, and their second basemen combined to bat only .235. Donovan Solano started the most games there and batted .249.

With the winter meetings next week, the Marlins remain in the market for help at third base.

The speedy Furcal spent his first six seasons in Atlanta and the next 5½ with the Los Angeles Dodgers before they traded him to St. Louis, where he helped the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series.


ASTROS, FELDMAN AGREE ON DEAL


Right-hander Scott Feldman signed a three-year deal Friday to become the veteran presence in the Houston Astros rotation.

Feldman, who will turn 31 just before spring training begins, was 12-12 with a 3.86 ERA in 30 combined starts for the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore last season.

The deal puts Feldman on a staff that includes four returning pitchers who made at least 10 starts last year and are 25 years or younger — even after 23-year-old Jordan Lyles was traded by the Astros to Colorado earlier this week.

"Everybody starts in this game young, you can really learn a lot just by watching anybody. ... I can learn from them and they can also learn from me," Feldman said. "It's just going to be great to have a group of guys that works wells and we can all get on the same page, help each other out and have a successful season."

Houston is coming off a 111-loss season.

The 6-foot-7 Feldman pitched in the AL West for Texas from 2005-12 before a one-year deal with the Cubs before last season. He was traded in July to the Orioles. He won 17 games for the Rangers in 2009 when he pitched a career-high 189 2-3 innings while making a career-high 31 starts. That was the only time he pitched more than his 181 2-3 combined innings last season.

"Going into my free agency last year, I really just was looking for a place to go where I could just try to prove to everyone that I was capable of starting 30 games," Feldman said. "It was a big year for me. ... Just honestly, I felt like all I really needed was an opportunity, and I'm glad I was able to make the most of it."


KURODA TO STAY WITH YANKS


As Robinson Cano got closer to leaving the New York Yankees, Hiroki Kuroda agreed to stay.

Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner said Friday the pitcher is returning for a third season in the Bronx.

"Kuroda is coming back," Steinbrenner said outside the team's spring training complex.

Kuroda's return fills one of three holes in the rotation behind CC Sabathia and Ivan Nova. The right-hander, who turns 39 in February, got off to a strong start last season before fading down the stretch. He finished 11-13 with a 3.31 ERA in 32 starts covering 201 1-3 innings.

Last month, Kuroda declined a $14.1 million qualifying offer from New York.
