Nov. 13 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Yankees acquired switch-hitting first baseman-outfielder Nick Swisher and a minor-league pitcher from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Wilson Betemit and two prospects.
Right-handed pitchers Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez were sent to Chicago in the trade, while right-hander Kanekoa Texeira joined New York, the Yankees said in a news release.
Swisher, 27, batted .219 with 24 home runs, 69 runs batted in and 86 runs scored last season, making 69 starts in centerfield, 47 at first base, and 11 each in left field and right.
