3 years agoThe New York Yankees are acquiring third baseman Josh Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and catcher Ben Rortvedt from the Minnesota Twins on Sunday night in exchange for catcher Gary Sanchez and infielder Gio Urshela, according to a source. Donaldson will become the Yankees starting third baseman in 2022 after slashing .247/.352/.475 with 26 home runs and 72 RBI in 543 plate appearances over 135 games. The three-time All-Star has concerning injury history and is 36 years old, but he's heading to a much better lineup and hitting environment in the Bronx. Kiner-Falefa was just acquired from the Texas Rangers earlier in the week, but he'll now move to the Yankees, where he'll presumably serve as a utility infielder. IKF has some speed to spare, but unless he's playing every day, he won't have much usefulness in mixed leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
