The New York Yankees have gone out and acquired another pitcher—26-year-old right-hander A.J. Cole from the Washington Nationals. In exchange, the Yanks are sending cash considerations to the Nats.
The team made the move official shortly after trouncing the Minnesota Twins by a score of 14-1.

A fourth-round pick out of Oviedo (FL) High School in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, Cole was, for years, ranked as one of the top 100 prospects in all of baseball.
