11/13: Finalized: Yankees Trade Betemit, Marquez and Nunez to White Sox for Swisher and Texeira
Updating
our previous story,
ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick reports on the finalized details of the Yankees trade for Nick Swisher.
In addition to pitcher Jeff Marquez, the Yankees also included infielder Wilson Betemit and pitcher Jhonny Nunez. Nunez was
acquired from the Nationals for Alberto Gonzalez last season.
The Yankees also acquired a minor league pitcher in the deal. His name is Kanekoa Texeira. Not Teixeira. Texeira. He is 22 years old and he split time between Single-A and Double-A last season, going 6-3 with 21 saves and a 1.33 ERA in 51 appearances.
