EXPOS MAKE A TRADE WITH THE NEW YORK YANKEES
ACQUIRE NICK JOHNSON, JUAN RIVERA and RANDY CHOATE

The Montreal Expos on Thursday traded right-handed pitcher
Javier Vazquez to the New York Yankees for first baseman
Nick Johnson, outfielder Juan Rivera and left-hander Randy
Choate.

Johnson, who hit .284 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs last
season fills a big hole in the Expos' lineup. Rivera was in
57 games for the Bronx Bombers and hit .266 with seven home
runs and 26 RBIs and will compete for a starting position
in the outfield.
