The pickup of Jorbit Vivas was a bit puzzling at the time, but he has proven his worth so far in DC

Another familiar face.

The Washington Nationals added another infielder in a trade with the New York Yankees as manager Blake Butera dives into Jorbit Vivas

The Washington Nationals picked up infielder Jorbit Vivas in a trade Sunday that sent minor league pitcher Sean Paul Liñan to the New York Yankees. Vivas spent 29 games with the Yankees last season, hitting .161 with a homer and five RBIs. The second baseman/third baseman was originally signed by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a non-drafted free agent in 2017.

The New York Yankees acquired a player from an NL East team.

The Yankees swung a minor trade on the final day of camp as they whittled down their roster to 26.

This is a very nice move for the Nationals to make ahead of 2026.
