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.

Rhoden, a National League All-Star last season, would be sent to the Yankees with right-hander Cecilio Guante and left-hander Pat Clements for Fisher, 24-year-old right-hander Doug Drabek and an unnamed minor leaguer.
