NEW YORK -- With Robinson Cano's future with the New York Yankees in limbo, the team is close to a one-year deal worth $3 million with Kelly Johnson as an insurance policy at second base, a source confirmed Wednesday.

The Yankees hope Johnson, 31, will be a utility player at second, third and in the outfield. He hit .235 last season with the Tampa Bay Rays and had 16 homers and an OPS of .715.
