MLB trade rumors: Yankees make deal with Dodgers, what it means

The Yankees didn't leave the office early for Thanksgiving.

They acquired speedy utility man Tim Locastro from the Dodgers in exchange for righty minor-leaguer Drew Finley and cash on Wednesday afternoon, the team said in a statement.

Los Angeles had recently designated Locastro for assignment to clear 40-man roster space.

It put the Yankees' 40-man roster to its full capacity.

Who's Locastro? Locastro, 26, was a Blue Jays 13th-round pick out of Ithaca College in 2013. He's got little big-league experience -- he appeared in just 18 games this season for the Dodgers and in three in 2017 -- but he's quick.
