The New York Yankees have acquired pitcher Chad Gaudin from the San Diego Padres for a player to be named. The Yankees announced the trade during Thursday night's game against Boston. The 26-year-old right-hander is 4-10 with a 5.13 ERA in 20 games for the Padres, including 19 starts. Gaudin did especially well in late July, giving up three earned runs or less in five straight starts.
