After acquiring pitchers Zach Britton and J.A. Happ, the Yankees completed their third trade in five days, sending the much-maligned Chasen Shreve to St. Louis.
Along with 26-year-old reliever Giovanny Gallegos, the Yankees opened up both a 25-man roster spot and a 40-man, which became necessary following the slew of recent roster moves.
With Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge out up to a month, there was speculation that the Yanks would acquire a power bat. While the 27-year-old Voit may fill the right-handed hitting void, no one is quite sure how much of an upgrade he is over the likes of say, Tyler Austin or Mike Ford, both of whom currently ply their trade down at Triple-A Scranton.
