CLEVELAND — Manny Bañuelos will be seeing the Yankees again soon — just from across the field.
The Yankees traded the left-hander to the Pirates on Sunday for cash considerations, two days before the two teams begin a series in Pittsburgh.

He was removed from the roster to make room for JP Sears, who came up to make a spot start against the Athletics.
Manager Aaron Boone had been hopeful the Yankees could keep Bañuelos, but instead he will join a rebuilding Pirates team.
