Yankees Acquire Jon Berti in Three-Team Trade

Berti steps in as a versatile replacement for injured infielder DJ LeMahieu.

The New York Yankees have acquired utility player Jon Berti from the Miami Marlins in a three-team trade involving the Tampa Bay Rays.
Berti, expected to fill in at third base, comes as a dynamic replacement for the injured DJ LeMahieu.
The trade sends catcher Ben Rortvedt to the Rays and outfield prospect John Cruz to the Marlins.
Berti brings versatility, having played multiple infield and outfield positions, and led the MLB in stolen bases in 2022.
The Yankees aim to bolster their infield depth and add speed to the lineup with Berti's acquisition.
