"Zack Short, who'd been a non-roster invitee to Yankees camp, will head to Triple-A Rochester with his new organization for the time being."
"Short has experience at second base, shortstop and third base in the majors - more than 300 innings at each position, including 784 at shortstop."
"He hasn't posted especially strong defensive grades, but he's a versatile right-handed bat with modest pop and solid on-base skills."
"Looking around the Nationals' infield, is the lone established player. Former first-round pick Brady House will get another look at third base."
Zack Short has been traded from the Yankees to the Nationals in exchange for cash. He will join Triple-A Rochester. Short, 30, signed a minor league deal with New York and performed well in spring training. He has played in parts of four major league seasons with various teams, accumulating 594 plate appearances. The Nationals need infield depth, and Short offers versatility at multiple positions despite modest offensive and defensive statistics.
