The Yankees have traded Johnny Barbato to the Pirates in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Barbato was put on waivers to make room for left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery on the 40-man roster. This is yet another trade between the two teams who seem to be making deals every season.

The 24-year-old made the Yankees opening day roster last season and appeared in 13 games.
