The Yankees acquired Donaldson, shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and prospect Ben Rortvedt in exchange for catcher Gary Sanchez and third baseman Gio Urshela.
The first post-lockout trade was completed Saturday as the Twins sent catcher Mitch Garver to the Rangers for the multi-positional Isiah Kiner-Falefa and righthanded pitching prospect Ronny Henriquez.
