The Marlins received outfield prospect John Cruz, the Yankees' No. 25 prospect, and outfield prospect Shane Sasaki from the Rays, with trade values of $4.7M for Berti, $0.1M for Rortvedt, and $1.3M for Sasaki.

The Rays have acquired NYY C Ben Rortvedt. He’s 26 and has battled through injuries the past few years He’s generally regarded as a decent defender behind the plate. Has hit .244/.336/.411 (105 wRC+) in the minors since 2019. He’s out of options and will join the big league team https://t.co/D9dLkDqbcR
