The New York Yankees upgraded their position player pool with two trades minutes before Thursday's deadline.
They acquired utilityman Jose Caballero from the Tampa Bay Rays, who received minor league outfielder Everson Pereira and a player to be named later, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. The team also sent infielder Oswald Peraza to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for minor league outfielder Wilberson De Pena and international bonus pool money.
It was effectively a swap of infielders for New York that created an unusual scene at Yankee Stadium.
