The Mets claimed catcher Ben Rortvedt off waivers from the Dodgers to add depth behind Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens, moving Dedniel Nunez to the 60-day IL to clear 40-man space. Rortvedt, a defensively solid catcher with major-league experience, could push Hayden Senger for a depth role, and his lack of remaining options means the Mets will need to manage the 40-man roster as spring training approaches.
The New York Yankees acquired utility infielder Jon Berti from the Marlins in a three-way trade, providing depth at third base while DJ LeMahieu is on the injured list. In exchange, they sent catcher Ben Rortvedt to the Rays and outfield prospect John Cruz to Miami. Berti, known for his versatility and solid hitting, is expected to play a key role for the Yankees. The trade addresses the team's concerns about infield depth and bench maneuvering before the start of the season.
