The New York Yankees have sent infielder Chase Headley and pitcher Bryan Mitchell to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Jabari Blash. This appears to be a salary dump by the Yankees, as the 33 year old Headley — originally drafted by the Padres in 2005, and traded by them to the Yankees in 2014 — is in the final year of a deal that will pay him $13 million in 2018, while Blash is a 28 year old outfielder who hasn’t really hit in the majors.
