Yanks Receive Greg Golson In Trade

From Doug Miller:

The Yankees added to their outfield depth Tuesday, acquiring Greg Golson in a trade with the Texas Rangers.

New York, which gave up Minor League infielder Mitch Hilligoss in the deal, receives a 24-year-old who batted .258 with 40 RBIs in 123 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2009. Golson, who had 27 extra-base hits last year, is a .263 career hitter in the Minors with 48 homers and 265 RBIs in 634 combined games in the Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies organizations.

In return for Golson the Rangers will receive minor-league infielder Mitch Hilligoss and between $15,000 and $20,000 cash.
