The New York Yankees have traded backup catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds for right-handed relief pitcher Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson. This move comes as Trevino lost his starting role to Austin Wells, prompting the Yankees to seek a veteran reliever and potential backup catcher.
Fernando Cruz, who has shown impressive strikeout capabilities, joins the Yankees' bullpen, while Jackson aims to secure a spot behind Wells. Trevino's defensive prowess will be missed, as he was recognized as one of the league's top catchers.
