Yankees Land Former Mets Infielder Amed Rosario from Nationals
The New York Yankees made a trade on July 26, 2025, acquiring infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals in exchange for two prospects.
The New York Yankees have acquired veteran infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and outfielder Browm Martinez, as the teams announced. Rosario represents the second infielder the Yankees traded for this weekend; on Friday, they dealt two pitchers to the Colorado Rockies for third baseman Ryan McMahon.
Rosario, 29, recorded a .270 batting average with five home runs and a stolen base in 46 games with the Nationals. He started his professional journey with the Mets, spending four seasons in Queens, before transitioning between teams since 2021. CBS Sports had ranked him as the 30th-best trade candidate on Friday, highlighting:
Rosario continues to struggle against right-handed pitching and has faced difficulties in walks and defense, but his improved bat speed this season suggests he can hit the ball harder. A team in need of left-handed hitting might find him a valuable addition.
Rosario could potentially team up with McMahon, who has traditionally struggled against left-handed pitchers, or serve in a super-utility capacity, covering multiple positions and facing southpaws.
It’s also essential to note that the Yankees suffered another loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, bringing their record to 56-48 and placing them 6.5 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. Additionally, they announced that star player Aaron Judge is going on the injured list due to a strained flexor, with manager Aaron Boone indicating Judge might only miss the minimum 10 days.
