Yankees Trade Zack Short, Focus on Bigger Additions

On March 25, the New York Yankees traded veteran infielders Zach Short to the Washington

Nationals for cast considerations right before the new.

Season starts. Short had signed a minor league deal with the Yankees just last December.

Earlier this week, this move came as part of the Yankees roster tweaks.

Short was originally drafted by the Chicago Cubs in 2016 and spent years in the miners before brief big league

stance with several teams. His major league career has been tough, with low batting averages

like 0.141 in his first full season and even lower marks later on.

He bounced between the Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves,

and Houston Astros over the years. Meanwhile, the Yankees are focusing on bigger additions,

like resigning outfielder Cody Belinger and bolstering the bullpen with relievers David.

Bednar, Camilo Doval, and Jake Bird.

These steps position the Yankees to chase a third straight playoff spot

and stay competitive in the American League East.
