New York Yankees Acquires Chad Gaudin

There appears to be more trades going on in the baseball world and according to nj.com, it was the New York Yankees that traded yesterday, only a day after they apparently signed veteran Russ Ortiz to a minor league deal.

And this time, the Yankees traded Padres starter Chad Gaudin, for a player that has not yet been named. This move is reportedly to help bolster their starting rotation. Before this season, Gaudin last worked as a full time starter back in 2007.

That was the year that 26-year old Gaudin, who will start his stint with the Yankees in the bullpen, posted an 11-13 record, with a 4.42 ERA in 34 starts. And this season, he apparently went 4-10 with a 5.13 ERA in 19 starts with the Padres.
