Andrew McCutchen Officially Traded to Yankees; Giants Get Prospects
Right fielder Andrew McCutchen has been traded for the second time in 2018.
The New York Yankees announced on Friday they acquired McCutchen and cash considerations from the San Francisco Giants for minor leaguers Abiatal Avelino and Juan De Paula.
Few players in McCutchen's generation are as accomplished as he is, given his five All-Star appearances, 2012 Gold Glove award and 2013 National League MVP award. While he was a center fielder for most of his career, he moved to right field in 2017 as a member of the Pirates and remained there this year in San Francisco.
