Report: Orioles Closer Zach Britton Headed to Yankees
Orioles closer Zach Britton is headed to the Yankees in exchange for three prospects, pending physicals, after the two teams agreed to a deal Tuesday, reports FanCred Sports Jon Heyman.
Righthanded pitcher Dillon Tate, the Yankees' No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will go to Baltimore along with Josh Rogers, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and The New York Post's Joel Sherman. Baltimore will also get Cody Carroll.
Britton missed the start of the season, recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, and didn't return until June. The 30-year-old lefthander has a 3.45 ERA with one win in 15.2 innings. Britton has 13 strikeouts and four saves this year.
