Yankees Trade Bethancourt Post-Deadline | New York Yankees News
Description
Yankees pull off a sneaky post-deadline trade, sending catcher Christian Bethancourt to the Pirates for cash—despite the deadline passing. Bethancourt, signed on a minor league deal in July, was tearing up Triple-A with a .300+ average and homers. Though he wasn’t on the 40-man roster and never hit the injured list, he was unlikely to get major league time in New York. Now, Pittsburgh gives him a real shot at playing time—and it’s not the first time the Yankees have used this loophole to move minor leaguers after the deadline.
