Amed Rosario trade: Yankees acquire former Mets player ahead of MLB trade deadline
Late Saturday the Yankees confirmed the trade, first reported by Jack Curry of the YES Network, that landed Rosario from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-hander Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer.
Rosario, 29, has played third base, second base, shortstop and right field this season, and he's even made a pitching appearance.
As a utility player, Rosario gives the Yankees a better offensive presence than Oswald Peraza, providing a needed right-handed bat as an occasional starter or off the bench.
In 46 games this year for Washington, Rosario batted .270 with five homers, 18 RBI and a .736 OPS. Rosario will be a free agent at the end of this season.
In addition to Beeter, the Yankees sent outfielder Browm Martinez to Washington. Martinez, 18, was batting .404 in 18 games this year the Dominican Summer League, with three homers and 16 RBI.
Converted to a reliever, Beeter, 26, appeared in five games for the Yankees since 2024, yielding eight runs in 7.1 innings.
The right-hander was originally acquired by the Yanks at the 2022 trade deadline in a deal that sent Joey Gallo to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Over the past couple of years, the Yankees have shown interest in acquiring Rosario, one of the key figures in the January 2021 trade that sent Francisco Lindor from Cleveland to the Mets.
With the MLB trade deadline arriving Thursday at 6 p.m., the Yankees will mostly be busy searching for bullpen help and an impact starting pitcher.
On Friday, the Yankees acquired lefty-hitting third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies in exchange for two minor league pitchers.

Yankees snap 5-game skid after Paul Goldschmidt's pinch homer to avoid rare sweep in Texas
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt put the Yankees ahead with a pinch-hit solo homer in the seventh inning and New York ended its five-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Texas Rangers on Wednesday. Goldschmidt went deep off lefty reliever Robert Garcia (1-7), who has now given up homers in his last three appearances. The Yankees (61-54) avoided being swept in Texas for the first time since 2010, and kept the Rangers from moving past them for the American League's third and final wild-card spot. Mark Leiter Jr. (5-6) got the win after coming on with a runner on in the sixth and getting a flyout before a double-play grounder to end the inning. That came after his cousin, Rangers rookie starter Jack Leiter, struck out three and walked four in 3 1/3 innings while allowing two runs (one earned). David Bednar struck out five while throwing 42 pitches over the final 1 2/3 innings for his 18th save. No. 9 batter Ezequiel Duran had three hits and scored both runs for Texas (60-56), which had an eight-game home winning streak after winning the first two games in the series. He scored on Sam Haggerty's single in the third and Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly in the fifth. New York went up 2-1 in the fourth. Anthony Volpe had an RBI single and the other run came home on catcher Kyle Higashioka's throwing error when the Yankees pulled off a double steal. Key moment Bednar struck out cleanup hitter Adolis García to end the game after Corey Seager had walked and Semien singled. Key stat The Yankees are 9-3 this season when trying to avoid being swept in a series. Up next Both teams have a day off before home games Friday night against division leaders. The Yankees open a three-game series against AL West-leading Houston, and the Rangers host Philadelphia from the NL East. ___ AP MLB:
