Yankees to acquire Britton from O's
July 24: The Yankees have agreed to acquire Orioles reliever Zach Britton, a source has confirmed to MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi. MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal reported the Yankees had emerged as "a clear front-runner" for the 30-year-old left-hander, and SNY's Andy Martino reported the two sides were close to a deal. Both also reported that Yankees No. 9 prospect Dillon Tate, a right-hander selected by the Rangers fourth overall in 2015, would likely be part of the return.
