Like father, like son: LJ Mazzilli, son of Lee, traded from Mets to Yankees

NEW YORK -- LJ Mazzilli is moving from the Mets to the Yankees, just like his father.

The 27-year-old infield and outfield prospect was traded to the Yankees on Tuesday for outfielder Kendall Coleman. The Yankees already employed his twin sister, Lacey, who has been an on-air host for the team since 2014 and often is seen on the stadium video board.

Selected in the fourth round of the 2013 amateur draft, LJ Mazzilli hit .259 with four homers and 36 RBI last year in 94 games for Double-A Binghamton and .217 with one homer and four RBI in 16 games for Triple-A Las Vegas.
