Marlins Trade Jordan Yamamoto

     The Miami Marlins have traded pitcher Joran Yamamoto to the New York Mets for infielder Federico Polanco. Yamamoto was acquired by the Marlins for Christian Yelich in a five-player deal back in January 2018. 

     Yamamoto played in the last two seasons on the Marlin major league roster. He was 4-5 and pitched 78 2/3 innings in 15 starts with the Fish in 2019. Yamamoto only made four appearances during the 2020 campaign and finished 0-1 with an 18.26 earned-run-average.  

     Polanco can play three positions on the infield. He has participated in the Mets minor league system since the 2018 season.
