Buster Olney of ESPN.com reports that the Yankees have re-signed Hiroki Kuroda to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal aren't available at this time, but it will obviously be for a bit more than the $13.3 million Kuroda declined when the Yanks made him a qualifying offer. Kuroda could have gotten a multi-year deal from another team, but he preferred to sign for just one year so that he could possibly return to Japan after next season.
