Luis García Jr. Traded to Yankees

The Nationals traded infielder Luis García Jr. to the New York Yankees for four right-handed pitchers: RHP Cruz (MLB-ready), RHP Grable, RHP Cebert, and RHP Bird. García was scratched from the lineup amid trade rumors, and the deal was finalized. The move signals a shift in the team's direction as they continue to lose and fall out of playoff contention.
