The New York Yankees have traded catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-handed relief pitcher Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson. Trevino, who served as the Yankees' backup catcher in 2024, was known for his defensive skills, earning Platinum and Gold Glove honors in 2022.

Despite a wrist injury that limited his 2023 season, Trevino's past performance included an All-Star appearance and significant contributions to the team's offense. Cruz, who has a high strikeout rate, joins the Yankees' bullpen while Jackson is expected to provide depth behind Austin Wells.
