NEW YORK (AP) -Relief pitcher Brian Bruney and the New York Yankees agreed Tuesday to a $725,000, one-year contract.

The right-hander, who turns 26 on Feb. 17, asked for $845,000 in arbitration and was offered $640,000. He made $395,545 last year, when he went 3-2 with a 4.68 ERA in 58 appearances.
