To put this in context: The famed 1927 New York Yankees, called the Murderers' Row lineup, had a team OPS of .872. First of all, that's insane, a full season hitting at that rate. But it also means the White Sox have been nearly that good in this stretch.

The New York Yankees make a roster move almost immediately after finalizing a trade with the Chicago White Sox.

Arriving from Chicago, Slater was placed on the Yankees' active roster about an hour before Wednesday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays, with lefty-hitting catcher-first baseman J.C. Escarra optioned to Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
