Yesterday, the Yankees acquired Andrew McCutchen from the Giants. Then rumors swirled that the team was one of many in talks with the Blue Jays about Josh Donaldson. He ended up being sent to Cleveland. As midnight approached, fans wondered if Brian Cashman might have another trade up his sleeve. It turns out that he did.
Around 1 AM, the Yankees announced that they acquired Adeiny Hechavarria from the Pirates for a player to be named later or cash considerations. According to Mark Feinsand, the shortstop is owed about $1 million and Pittsburgh is going to pay part of that.
