The New York Yankees have acquired veteran infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-hander Clayton Beeter and outfielder Browm Martinez.
In 46 games, the 29-year-old Rosario has posted a .270/.310/.426 slash line, with five home runs and 18 RBIs for Washington. Perhaps his best asset is his versatility, as Rosario has played second base, third base, shortstop, right field and even pitching an inning.
Rosario, who has played in 988 games in his nine-year career for six MLB teams, is set to become a free agent after this season.
Beeter was ranked as the Yankees’ No. 20 prospect by MLB Pipeline. Formerly a starter out of Texas Tech, the Yankees have developed him as a reliever this season. The 26-year-old former second-round in the 2020 draft has performed well in the minors with a career 3.64 ERA in 113 appearances (83 starts).
Over the last two seasons, Beeter has made five major league appearances, allowing eight runs on nine hits and five walks while striking out five in 7 1/3 innings.
Martinez is an 18-year-old outfielder from the Dominican Republic. This season, he has hit an eye-popping .404 with three home runs, 16 RBIs and 13 stolen bases in 18 games in the Dominican Summer League.
