Yankees acquire Brandon Drury from Diamondbacks in three-team trade
Christian Petersen Matt Linder The Yankees made their third trade of the off-season yesterday, acquiring infielder Brandon Drury from the Diamondbacks in a three-team deal. The details of the trade are as follows: -Yankees Receive: Brandon Drury (Arizona) -Diamondbacks Receive: Steven Souza (Tampa) and Taylor Widener (New York) -Rays Receive: Nick Solak (New York), Anthony Banda (Arizona) and two players to be named later from Arizona Last season, Drury slashed .267/.317/.447 with 13 home runs in 135 games. In addition to only being 25 years old with room for offensive improvement, Brandon’s positional versatility made him an attractive target for the Yankees. In just over two major league seasons, Drury has played 136 game at second base, 62 in left field, 41 at third base and 32 in right field. His ability to play all over the diamond should allow him to replace Chase Headley at the hot corner, Starlin Castro at second or serve as a super utility player. It
