The Yankees announced on Tuesday that they have traded righthanded pitcher Nick Goody to the Indians for a player to be named later or cash considerations.
Goody, 25, made 27 relief appearances in 2016 covering 29 innings and allowed 15 earned runs while striking out 34 and walking 12.
He was designated for assignment last week to make room for Aroldis Chapman on the 40-man roster.
Neil Best first worked at Newsday in 1982, returned in 1985 after a detour to Alaska and has been here since, specializing in high schools, college basketball, the NFL and most recently sports media and business.
