Left-hander Pedro Feliciano and the New York Yankees have finalized an $8 million, two-year contract.

Monday's agreement, which includes a $4.5 million club option for 2013, gives New York another left-hander in the bullpen to go along with Boone Logan. It follows Boston's additions of left-handed hitting Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to join lefties David Ortiz, J.D. Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury.

The 34-year-old Feliciano moves across town from the Mets, where set a major league record with 266 relief appearances over the last three seasons. He is 22-19 with four saves and a 3.31 ERA in eight major league seasons, holding left-handed hitters to a .214 average.
