Overview
- The teams completed the trade on March 22, with Washington acquiring infielder Jorbit Vivas and New York receiving 21-year-old right-hander Sean Paul Liñan.
- Vivas, a 25-year-old left-handed hitter who plays second and third base, is out of minor-league options and will occupy a Nationals 40-man roster spot that requires a corresponding move.
- The Yankees did not project Vivas for their Opening Day bench, opting to trade him rather than risk a DFA as they finalize roster spots.
- Vivas hit .161 in 29 MLB games in 2025 but posted a .270 average with 21 doubles, four homers and 12 steals over 100 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
- Liñan, a Colombian right-hander with High-A experience, owns a 3.62 career minor-league ERA with about 11.6 strikeouts per nine and is noted for a plus changeup after joining Washington last summer in the Alex Call-related deal.
