The Yankees and Red Sox agreed to a trade during the winter meetings on Tuesday, coming to terms on a deal that will send outfielder Alex Verdugo to the Bronx, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports.
In exchange, Boston will acquire a trio of right-handed pitching prospects, including Greg Weissert, Richard Fitts, and Nicholas Judice.
It’s rare to see New York doing business with its arch rivals. The last time the Yankees and Red Sox made a trade was back in 2021, when Boston acquired Adam Ottavino. Prior to that, the teams had not conducted a trade since 2014.
