Yankees acquire infielder Amed Rosario in trade with Nationals
NEW YORK — The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer. Article content 'When I heard where I was going, I kind of didn't believe it,' Rosario said through an interpreter in Minnesota, where the Nationals beat the Twins 9-3. 'I mean, at some point I kind of knew I was going to get traded, but I didn't know it was going to be today.' Article content Article content The move came hours after New York said star slugger Aaron Judge is headed to the injured list — and one day after the Yankees obtained third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for two pitching prospects. Article content Article content McMahon made his Yankees debut on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. New York is 21-28 following a 35-20 start and has slipped a season-high 6 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Toronto. Article content 'He's actually been a guy who we've tried to kind of get the last couple of years to varying degrees,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'Provides some defensive versatility, speed and really gets lefties, so I think it kind of makes our bench and the balance of our roster a little more workable.' Article content The versatile Rosario likely will be used mostly at third base, second base and outfield corners, and he also can play shortstop. He's a right-handed hitter with an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, making him a good fit for a platoon with McMahon. Article content Article content McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season. Article content The 29-year-old Rosario was hitting .270 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and a .736 OPS in 46 games and 158 plate appearances with Washington overall. Article content 'I helped a lot, I think,' Rosario said. 'Especially the young players. I kind of showed them the hard work I put every day, so I hope they take that from me.' Article content Rosario was one of baseball's highest-rated prospects when he broke into the big leagues with the New York Mets in August 2017 at age 21. He is a .273 career hitter with 68 homers, 110 stolen bases and a .707 OPS in nine major league seasons. He also has played for Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cincinnati Reds.
