CABALLERO TRADED BY TAMPA BAY TO NYY
The New York Yankees acquired infielder/outfielder Jose Caballero from the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Everson Pereira and a player to be named later.
What does it give the New York Yankees
Caballero is a versatile right-handed batter who can play all over the infield as well as the outfield. Look for him to play a role off the bench with the Yankees down the stretch.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
Pereira was once considered a top prospect. He is still only 24, so there may be a path to the Rays outfield at some point. The Rays did well to add two future assets for a bench player.
Fantasy impact
Keep an eye on Pereira, as he could be a late-blooming fantasy outfielder. Caballero is unlikely to see enough at-bats down the stretch to be a viable fantasy option.
