Catcher Jose Trevino has been traded from the Texas Rangers to the New York Yankees.
Trevino hit .239 with five home runs and 23 RBI across 308 plate appearances a season ago. He is expected to factor into the Yankees’ plans at catcher, a position filled with uncertainty. Former Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez was dealt to the Minnesota Twins in mid-March.
The Rangers received right-handed pitcher Albert Abreu and left-handed pitcher Robby Ahlstrom in the deal. Abreu was out of minor league options and therefore will fill Trevino’s vacated spot on the 40-man roster.
