C Brian Navarreto traded to Yankees

12

Jon Heyman of the MLB Network tweeted earlier today that catcher Brian Navarreto, who was playing for the Minnesota Twins' AA affiliate, has been traded to the New York Yankees, presumably for cash considerations. After Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was injured in Tuesday's game with a groin injury and placed on the Injured List, this is presumably a depth move. Navarreto was batting .177/.229/.331 with five homers and 16 RBI in Pensacola this year and also saw a few games at first base.
