It’s no secret that the Yankees have been looking to add an outfielder to their roster, and this afternoon they did just that in a move first reported by the YES Network’s Jack Curry:

This marks the second time in seven months that the two teams have done business together, with the first being the trade that sent Michael Pineda to the Bronx and Jesus Montero to Seattle.

Not sure about that?
Here are five reasons why that’s the case.
