Over a month after Aaron Judge injured his wrist, the Yankees have reportedly made a move to finally shore up their outfield, trading for Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen. The days of starting Shane Robinson in right field appear to be over as the Yankees have acquired another former NL MVP.
The Yankees will evidently be sending the Giants a pair of prospects for McCutchen. The headliner is Abiatal Avelino, a 23-year-old middle infielder with lots of defensive versatility but no pop. Avelino has run a .252/.291/.372 slash line in Triple-A this year.
