Yankees Land Luis García Jr. in Multi-Pitcher Deal
New York bolsters its struggling offense by acquiring García, who has posted a 134 wRC+ with 23 home runs in 104 games this season.
The Yankees completed a trade for first baseman/second baseman Luis García Jr., sending four pitchers to the Nationals. García has had a breakout power season, slashing .283/.313/.560 with 23 home runs and a 134 wRC+ in 104 games. New York's offense has ranked last in wRC+ since losing Aaron Judge to a rib stress fracture on June 1. The addition addresses a critical need with Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton also sidelined.
