Austin Kearns - OF - New York Yankees
July 31, 2010 - 10:30 AM ET

Yankees acquired outfielder Austin Kearns from the Indians for a player to be named or cash.

The 30-year-old veteran gives the Bronx Bombers bench depth as well as an additional option against left-handed pitching. He hit .272/.354/.419 in 301 at-bats for the Indians. That sound you just heard was his AL-only value evaporating.
