Yankees send Oswald Peraza to Angels

Minutes before the deadline for changes, Yankees sent Oswald Peraza to Angels and received José Caballero de Rays

The New York Yankees expanded their reservation of position players with two exchange AM850.

It is, in effect, an exchange of infielders for New York that generated an unusual scene in the Yankee Stadium. Caballero was notified of his exchange in full game, on Thursday, between the Rays and the Yankees, and said goodbye to his former teammates and coaches, hugging some in the visiting dugout while the meeting was held.

Caballero is a fast and versatile defender who offers security in the campocorto if the defensive difficulties of Anthony Volpe become too serious so that the Yankees can advance to the playoffs and, in October, if they reach the postseason.

Caballero, 28 years old, Batea .226 with an OPS of .640, 34 bases stolen in 42 attempts and a WRC+ of 84, playing six positions with the Rays this season.

Peraza, 25 years old and was once an outstanding prospect, has not been successful in the big leagues during the last four seasons. This year, it has been one of the worst batters of the elders, with an average bat of .152 with an OPS of .452 and a WRC+ of 26 in 71 games, the greatest amount of their career.

The Yankees sent to the minor league gardener Everson Pereira Already a player who will be appointed later for Caballero. They received the minor league gardener Peña Wilberson and an international bonus for Peraza.
