On Saturday, the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers agreed to a trade centered around right-handed pitcher Albert Abreu.
The Yankees are sending Abreu and left-handed pitcher Robby Ahlstrom to the Rangers in exchange for catcher Jose Trevino.
Abreu will be added to the Rangers’ Major League roster. In 28 appearances last season, he went 2-0 with a 5.15 ERA and 35 strikeouts.
Ahlstrom, meanwhile, was selected by the Yankees in the seventh round of the 2021 MLB Draft. He has not yet made his MLB debut, but he did have an impressive résumé at the University of Oregon.
With those two pitchers on their way out, the Yankees are adding a serviceable catcher to their roster in Trevino
Over the past four seasons, Trevino is a .245 hitter with nine homers and 55 RBI. He could end up being the primary backup to Kyle Higashioka.
