NEW YORK (AP) — The Washington Nationals picked up infielder Jorbit Vivas in a trade Sunday that sent minor league pitcher Sean Paul Liñan to the New York Yankees.
Vivas spent 29 games with the Yankees last season, hitting .161 with a homer and five RBIs. The second baseman/third baseman was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent in 2017. He was acquired by the Yankees along with lefty Victor González as part of a deal that sent infielder Trey Sweeney to the Dodgers in 2023.
The 21-year-old Liñan went a combined 3-4 last season with a 3.03 ERA and one save in different minor league stints with the Dodgers and Nationals. The right-hander was traded to the Nationals last July in a package that sent outfielder Alex Call to the Dodgers.
