Yankees and Orioles finalize deal to send Zach Britton to New York

A trade sending Baltimore Orioles pitcher Zach Britton to the New York Yankees has been finalized.

What It Means:

This comes as no surprise after it was said to be all but certain on Tuesday evening, but Britton is now officially a Yankee. In exchange the Orioles receive three Minor League prospects in Josh Rogers, Dillon Tate and Cody Carroll.

Britton has only pitched 15 2/3 innings as he spent some time on the disabled list with an Achilles injury this season. In 53 innings since the start of the 2017 season, he has notched a 3.06 ERA, 3.64 xFIP, 18.8% strikeout rate, 12.5% walk rate and 1.47 WHIP.
