San Diego Padres Trade: 

RP Beau Brieske - $850k Arb1 Arb2 Arb3
SP Michael Forret - MiLB

New York Yankees Trade:

MI/CI/OF Brendan Donovan - $850k Arb1 Arb2 Arb3

My lineup is in shambles. I don't know who's coming back when or how good they'll be when they do, so I'm trying to cover a few different positions by adding Donovan. He's not a huge impact guy, but I like he well-rounded skillset and he'll cover multiple lineup spots for me while I pray my mainstays come back healthy.

Happy to connect with Henry on our first deal! Over to him for confirmation.

Yankees confirm. Great chatting trades with the Commish himself, and this works for me as I have a lot of hitters but am light on pitching.

Brieske could be a step towards the depth I’m looking for, with upside if he keeps improving and it’s nice to get an extra pitching prospect too.

Donovan is a handy youngish player who can stabilise all categories, and is on a good contract, but the positional swap makes sense from my perspective. I hope Donovan can be the glue that Kevaghn and the Padres need in the remaining weeks!
