BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) The New York Yankees have traded infielder Jose Pirela to the San Diego Padres for right-hander Ronald Herrera in the first deal of the general managers' meetings.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman said he made the deal Wednesday to clear space on his 40-man roster.

The 25-year-old Pirela made his big league debut with the Yankees in 2014 and hit .230 with one homer and five RBIs this year with the major league club. He batted .310 with three homers and 23 RBIs at three minor league levels in 2015.

The 20-year-old Herrera was 8-7 with a 4.08 ERA in 25 starts and one relief appearance for Double-A San Antonio and Class A Lake Elsinore this year.
