BOSTON (AP) -The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Xavier Nady and left-hander Damaso Marte from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night, bolstering their bullpen and offense ahead of next week’s trade deadline.
Nady and Marte were coveted by several teams, and New York parted with top outfield prospect Jose Tabata and three other minor leaguers to complete the deal one day after team executives met at the club’s facility in Tampa, Fla.
Two people familiar with the deal confirmed the trade on condition of anonymity because physicals were still pending.
Nady is batting .330 with 13 home runs and 57 RBIs in 88 games. Marte is 4-0 with a 3.47 ERA and 47 strikeouts in 46 2-3 innings.
