[B] [/B]
[I]The [URL='http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/nyy/new-york-yankees']New York Yankees[/URL] will announce Monday morning that it is transferring its resale business, Yankees Ticket Exchange, to StubHub, which will take over for Ticketmaster as the team's new fan-to-fan ticket exchange.

Financial terms were not available, but the business is believed to be worth more than $100 million to the Yankees over the term of the agreed to contract.

The deal brings to an end a long battle between the team and StubHub, which began when the Yankees were one of two teams -- along with [URL='http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/laa/los-angeles-angels']Los Angeles Angels[/URL] -- to opt out of Major League Baseball's deal with the secondary ticket market maker.

It also ends a controversial move the Yankees and Ticketmaster made at the start at the season, when it banned print at home ticketing and PDF's in favor of mobile transfer.[/I]
