The David Carpenter era is officially over in New York.
#Yankees acquire Minor League INF Tony Renda from Nationals for RHP David Carpenter.
On Thursday morning, the Yankees announced that they traded the 29-year-old right handed pitcher to the Washington Nationals.
After acquiring Carpenter in a deal with the Atlanta Braves during the offseason, the Yankees hoped that the hard throwing right hander would be able to impact the big league club. Manager Joe Girardi had hopes that Carpenter could be the seventh inning guy for the club, leading the way to Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
