Yankees Land Luis Garcia Jr. in Four-Pitcher Deal with Nationals
New York adds the slugging NYC native to bolster an offense depleted by Aaron Judge's IL stint, sending four arms to Washington.
The Yankees and Nationals have officially completed a trade sending Luis Garcia Jr. to New York for Yovanny Cruz, Jake Bird, and prospects Jack Cebert and Ben Grable. Garcia, 26, is posting a career-best .283/.313/.560 with 23 home runs in 374 plate appearances this season. The move addresses the Yankees' offensive void created by Aaron Judge's injured list placement. Garcia's fit is complicated by roster depth at first base and a lineup already heavy with left-handed hitters.
