Donaldson, 37, who is projected to be the Yankees' starting third baseman this year, will make $21.75 million this season and has a $16 million team option for next season, or the Yankees could Choose to buy out his contract for $8 million.

Looking back on his lost performance last year, Donaldson said that he had been working hard last year, but he still couldn't really find the state he wanted to maintain. He admitted that although he had made a lot of good performances, he couldn't maintain stability.
