Yankees Acquire Caleb Ferguson in Trade with Dodgers
Los Angeles Sends Lefty to New York for Minor League Pitcher
The New York Yankees have added another piece to their bullpen, acquiring left-handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.
Ferguson to Bolster Yankees' Bullpen
Ferguson, 24, has been a reliable reliever for the Dodgers over the past two seasons, posting a 3.86 ERA with 112 strikeouts in 109 innings. He is expected to bolster a Yankees bullpen that has struggled at times this season.
Deal Highlights
In exchange for Ferguson, the Yankees sent minor league pitcher Clayton Beeter to the Dodgers. Beeter is a 21-year-old right-hander who has impressed in the minors this season.
Outlook for Both Teams
For the Yankees, the acquisition of Ferguson gives them a much-needed left-handed option in the bullpen. For the Dodgers, the trade allows them to continue to develop Beeter, who could potentially become a valuable piece in their future rotation.
