Late in the spring, just when it seemed like the roster might be set, the Yankees swung a trade to acquire catcher Jose Trevino from the Texas Rangers. New York had acquired Ben Rortvedt from the Minnesota Twins as part of their return for Gary Sánchez to pair with Kyle Higashioka at the position, but Rortvedt’s oblique injury means he’ll miss the start of the regular season. At the risk of needing to give a non-insignificant number of at-bats to the likes of Rob Brantly, Max McDowell, or David Freitas, the Yankees instead found a backup catcher with experience and, crucially, a lot of defensive chops.
