The New York Yankees and San Diego Padres have agreed to a trade that will send right-hander Shawn Kelley to the Padres in exchange for minor league right-hander Johnny Barbato.
Kelley went 3-6 with a 4.53 ERA in 59 appearances for the Yankees in 2014 and closed briefly for New York when David Robertson was on the disabled list.
Barbato is a 22-year-old minor leaguer who posted a 2.87 ERA for the Padres Class-AA San Antonio team and converted 16 saves with 33 strikeouts in 31.1 innings. The right-hander was a sixth-round pick of the Padres in 2010.
