Yankees Trade David Carpenter to Washington Nationals & Other Roster Moves

The New York Yankees designated David Carpenter for assignment last week in a move that freed up a roster spot for Masahiro Tanaka. Today the Yankees sent Carpenter to the Washington Nationals for minor league second baseman Tony Renda.  Carpenter was designated on June 3 after posting an 0-1 record with a 4.82 ERA in 22 appearances out of the Yankees bullpen.

Renda was a second round pick by the Nationals in 2012. See ya David, say hello to Matt Thornton for me. 

The team also called up Mason Williams to the major leagues, not Ramon Flores for some reason, along with Chris Martin to replace Jose Pirela and Andrew Miller on the active roster.
