MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – Derek Jeter’s first trade as the CEO of the Miami Marlins was with none other than the New York Yankees.
The Marlins acquired left-hander Caleb Smith and first baseman Garrett Cooper for right-hander Michael King and $250,000 in pool money.
The Yankees had acquired Cooper from Milwaukee on July 13, who made his big league debut the following day. He hit .326 (14 for 43) in 13 games for the Yankees, including a four-hit game at Toronto on Aug. 6, and had five doubles, a triple and six RBIs. The 26-year-old batted .359 in 83 games at Double-A and Triple-A with 18 homers and 84 RBIs.
