The New York Yankees have traded catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds, acquiring right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson in return. Trevino, who has been a solid defensive player and won a Gold Glove in 2022, struggled offensively last season but will serve as a backup to Tyler Stephenson in Cincinnati.
On the Yankees' side, Cruz brings a promising strikeout rate and a strong splitter, aiming to enhance the team's bullpen. Jackson, with a low OPS+, adds depth to the catching position.
