The Pittsburgh Pirates conditionally traded 15-game winner Rick Rhoden and two other pitchers to the New York Yankees for pitcher Brian Fisher and two other players.
The deal, which requires Rhoden to work out a contract with the Yankees, comes a month after the right-hander renewed his request to be traded, following a breakdown in contract talks with the Pirates.
