MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: In a surprising move, the Yankees traded two prospects, outfielders Josh Stowers and Antonio Cabello, to the Texas Rangers in exchange for infielder Rougned Odor, whom the Rangers had designated for assignment last week. Odor, still just 27 despite the fact that he’s entering his eighth season, is under contract through the 2022 season (with a team option for 2023). Although he hasn’t played well at all over the last few seasons, the left-handed second baseman undeniably has power, with three 30+ HR seasons. Considering the fact that the Rangers will be paying almost the entirety of his salary, the move seems like the kind interesting low-risk flyer that the Yankees have turned to gold in recent years with Gio Urshela and Mike Tauchman.
