Yankees Shock Baseball World by Snatching Amed Rosario from Nationals in Stunning Trade Deal
McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season.
The 29-year-old Rosario was hitting .270 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and a .736 OPS in 46 games and 158 plate appearances with Washington overall.
“I helped a lot, I think,” Rosario said. “Especially the young players. I kind of showed them the hard work I put every day, so I hope they take that from me.”
Rosario was one of baseball’s highest-rated prospects when he broke into the big leagues with the New York Mets in August 2017 at age 21. He is a .273 career hitter with 68 homers, 110 stolen bases and a .707 OPS in nine major league seasons. He also has played for Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cincinnati Reds.
