The New York Yankees continue to tinker with their lineup before the trade deadline on Thursday. On Saturday according to Nick Deeds of MLB Trade Rumors, the Yankees acquired infielder Amed Rosario of Santo Domingo Centro, Dominican Republic. Rosario was traded from the Washington Nationals to the Yankees for relief pitcher Clayton Beeter of Fort Worth, Texas and outfield prospect Browm Martinez of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
Rosario is the second infielder the Yankees have acquired via a trade over the weekend. On Friday, they acquired third baseman Ryan McMahon of Yorba Linda, California in a trade with the Colorado Rockies.
