The New York Yankees, in need of infield help with DJ LeMahieu beginning the season on the injured list, acquired veteran infielder Jon Berti from the Miami Marlins as part of a three-team trade on Wednesday, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.
The Marlins will receive two outfield prospects in exchange -- John Cruz from the Yankees and Shane Sasaki from the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays will get catcher Ben Rortvedt from the Yankees, the source said. LeMahieu, the Yankees' every-day third baseman and expected leadoff hitter, was recently placed on the IL because of a bruised right foot, leaving Oswaldo Cabrera and now Berti as fill-in options.
