Yankees' Chris Iannetta: Opens season in majors

Iannetta signed a major-league deal with the Yankees on Tuesday.

The veteran backstop was unlikely to earn an Opening Day roster spot in spring training, but the Yankees will take advantage of the expanded 30-man roster to carry a third catcher. Iannetta is unlikely to see significant opportunities with Gary Sanchez locked in as the starter and Kyle Higashioka as the top backup behind the plate.
