The New York Yankees traded catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-hander Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson, marking a significant shift behind the plate for the Yankees.

Trevino, who had a standout season in 2022, faced injuries in 2023, allowing rookie Austin Wells to take over as the starting catcher. With Trevino's impending free agency, Wells is expected to step into the everyday role for the upcoming season.

Cruz, a 34-year-old right-hander, has shown promise in his MLB career, while Jackson, who has struggled at the plate, adds depth to the Yankees' catching options.
