Yankees and Dodgers Swap Roster Players to Accommodate Ohtani and Soto Deals

The New York Yankees have traded shortstop prospect Trey Sweeney to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for lefty Victor Gonzalez and infield prospect Jorbit Vivas. The trade opens up roster spots for the Dodgers to accommodate Shohei Ohtani and Joe Kelly. The Yankees gain a new lefty reliever in Gonzalez, while Vivas adds depth to their infield prospects. The trade will not affect the teams' pursuit of Japanese righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
