Nationals Trade Garcia for Pitching Boost | New York Yankees News
Description
The Nationals just pulled off a big trade before the deadline, sending breakout pitcher Luis Garcia Jr. to the Yankees in exchange for four right-handed arms: Jake Bird, Yovanny Cruz, Jack Cebert, and high-upside prospect Ben Grable. Cruz and Bird bring MLB experience and durability to Washington’s bullpen, while Grable’s 99 mph fastball adds future upside. Garcia, who’s been with the team longest, called it a “new chapter” and thanked D.C. The move clearly targets Washington’s struggling pitching staff, and with more roster moves on the horizon — including Riley Cornelio heading to Triple-A and PJ Poulin going on the injured list — the Nationals are making bold moves to reshape their roster.
