The Washington Nationals traded Amed Rosario to the New York Yankees, acquiring right-handed relief prospect Clayton Beeter and 18-year-old outfield prospect Browm Martinez. José Tena will replace Rosario on the active roster. Rosario has been a reliable platoon bat primarily against left-handers, boasting a solid wRC+. Clayton Beeter, the 26-year-old reliever, was ranked among the Yankees’ top prospects and has begun a transition to a relief role after starting in the minors. The acquisition of Rosario is considered curious given the Yankees’ existing success against left-handed pitching.
Amed Rosario was traded from the Nationals to the Yankees, with Washington acquiring right-handed relief prospect Clayton Beeter and outfield prospect Browm Martinez in return.
Amed Rosario has been a consistent platoon bat for the Nationals, mainly performing as a short-side bat against left-handed pitching, showing a strong wRC+ in his appearances.
Clayton Beeter, the headlining prospect received by the Nationals, was previously drafted by the Dodgers and traded to the Yankees, marking his transition to a relief role.
Despite Rosario's strong performance against left-handers, the Yankees already excel against southpaws, making the rationale for acquiring him somewhat unclear.
