It’s official. The Yankees made their first big splash before the trade deadline yesterday evening. It began with reports that the Yankees were getting close to acquiring Zach Britton from the Orioles. By the time yesterday’s game against the Rays was finished, Jon Heyman noted that the deal had been agreed upon. For Britton, the Yankees sent Dillon Tate, Cody Carroll, and Josh Rogers to Baltimore. So, how did they end up here?
Double A RHP Dillon Tate, #Yankees’ No. 9 prospect per @MLBPipeline will indeed headline Britton deal with #Orioles if completed, per source.
