The New York Yankees Wednesday acquired outfielder Curtis Granderson from the Detroit Tigers in a three-team, seven-player deal, sending left-handed pitcher Phil Coke and outfielder Austin Jackson to Detroit and right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy to the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Granderson batted .249 (157-for-631) with 23 doubles, 8 triples, 30 home runs, 71 RBI and 20 stolen bases with the Detroit Tigers in 2009, setting a career high in home runs and recording at least 60 extra-base hits for the third straight season.

He was selected to the AL All-Star team for the first time in his career and was one of only three American Leaguers to collect 30 homers and 20 stolen bases, joining Texas' Ian Kinsler and Nelson Cruz.
