Nationals add second Yankees infielder this week in pre-Opening Day trade
"The Nationals have made a few moves recently that are going to help shape the organization's depth for the upcoming season, and coincidentally, both have come from the New York Yankees."
"Short is an interesting acquisition, as he has appeared in 241 games since 2021, and has played in the majors for the Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Atlanta Braves, and most recently the Houston Astros in 2025."
"For his career, Short has a .172/.271/.296 slash line, good for a .567 OPS to go along with 15 homers, 67 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases."
The Washington Nationals are preparing for Opening Day with significant roster changes. The team has hired a new front office and coaching staff, focusing on acquiring new talent. Notable trade acquisitions include Harry Ford and Gavin Fien, who are expected to play key roles in the future. Recent moves include acquiring infielder Jorbit Vivas and journeyman Zack Short from the Yankees, with Vivas making the Opening Day roster while Short will start in AAA. The organization aims to enhance depth at all levels.
