Yankees trade for catcher Jose Trevino

As spring training entered its final weeks, the Yankees' catching situation drew quite a bit of attention. While Kyle Higashioka has been an offensive stud this spring, there are still many who question his value over the course of a full season. The recently-acquired Ben Rortvedt has battled an oblique injury through camp and has yet to play in an actual game this spring. With the start of the season just days away, the Yankees have swung a trade with the Texas Rangers to improve their catching depth, bringing in Jose Trevino, who enters the organization with a very strong reputation for defense.
