The second baseman flew to Tampa Bay Friday morning for a Saturday morning workout. He told 23ABC that the team wanted to sign him that night but needed to wait for him to pass a physical Monday morning.
He was told he should take the field in Tampa later this week for one of the Yankees' rookie teams.
Metzgar is the 21st player in CSUB history to sign a pro contract.
