ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick is reporting that the Yankees have acquired outfielder/1st baseman Nich Swisher from the Chicago White Sox for minor league pitcher Jeff Marquez. Fox's Ken Rosenthal also reported the Yankees received Class AA right-hander Kanekoa Texeira. Not quite the Teixeira we were all hoping for.
Swisher gives the Yankees the option of playing him regularly in centerfield or at first base.
Update: 4:35 PM - The Yankees have also included Wilson Betemit as part of the deal. To which we say, "YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
