The New York Yankees have acquired a former New York Mets’ standout in a bit of a surprising trade following the Giancarlo Stanton injury.
On Sunday, the Yankees announced that they acquired J.D. Davis, who was recently designated for assignment, and cash considerations from the Oakland Athletics for infielder Jordan Groshans.this morning with a left hamstring strain. Davis gives New York another DH option beyond Aaron Judge while Stanton recovers.
The 31-year-old struggled this season in Oakland but is a right-handed bat with some offensive track record. The Yankees called up former top prospect infielder Oswald Peraza to replace Stanton in the interim, but the expectation is that he will be sent back down to the minors when Davis joins the Bronx Bombers at Citi Field on Tuesday.
Davis has experience playing both third base and first base, which are needs for the Yankees. However, he should see most of his time at DH until Stanton is ready to return.
