Just when the offseason appeared to be over, Brian Cashman swung one more trade on Saturday sending reliever Albert Abreu and prospect Robby Ahlstrom to the Rangers for catcher Jose Trevino. This isn’t exactly on the scale of Alfonso Soriano for Álex Rodríguez, but it’s a fascinating transaction nevertheless.
Before we even dig into who’s coming and going, it’s worth noting that Trevino became expendable because Texas traded for Mitch Garver, sending Isiah Kiner-Falefa to Minnesota, who was flipped to the Yankees the next day.
