Source: Yankees agree to trade for Orioles closer Zach Britton

The New York Yankees have agreed to a deal to acquire All-Star reliever Zach Britton from the Baltimore Orioles for three minor league pitchers, a source confirmed to ESPN.

The deal, which has not been finalized, would send righthanded starter Dillon Tate, lefthanded starter Josh Rogers, and right reliever Cody Carroll.

The agreement between the two teams was first reported by Fancred.

Tate has a 5-2 record and a 3.38 ERA for the Yankees' Double-A Trenton affiliate and is the prime piece going back to Baltimore in the trade.

Britton, 30, has amassed 139 saves for the Orioles since 2013.
