The New York Yankees made a "surprise" trade ahead of the weekend.
The U.S. Major League website (MLB.com ) reported on the 21st (Korea time) that "the New York Yankees traded Jose Trevino (32), a former All-Star catcher, to Cincinnati on the evening before the weekend."
According to the media, the Yankees decided to receive bullpen pitcher Fernando Cruz (34) and catcher Alex Jackson (29) from Cincinnati in the first round of the rookie draft instead of sending Trevino.
Although the Yankees have Austin Wells (25), the main catcher, the Trevino trade is evaluated as an unexpected move. It is because he still has many uses.
Trevino, a Texas native, made his Major League debut in 2018 for Texas. In the early days of the big league, he mainly played as a backup catcher and could not take a break as a main player.
After being traded to the Yankees, however, he played in a total of 115 games in the 2022 season with a batting average of 0.248 and 11 homers and 43 RBIs. His on-base plus slugging percentage was 0.671, which was not bad. He was honored as the first All-Star in his career.
After the end of the season, he also won the Gold Glove Catcher Award, which is given to players who showed the best defense in each position. He was notarized that he is the best defense player, even holding the Platinum Gold Glove in his arms.
However, that was it. After suffering from injury, he failed to display glory in the 2022 season. Trevino, who played in a total of 55 games last year with a batting average of 0.210 and four homers and 15 RBIs, only played in 74 games this year, showing poor performance with a batting average of 0.215 and eight homers and 28 RBIs. As a result, the Yankees decided to trade him.
He had three wins and eight losses and an earned run average of 4.86. While allowing 35 walks, he had 109 strikeouts, which was powerful enough.
Catcher Jackson, who will move to the Yankees with Cruz, was a top prospect when he was an amateur, as he was drafted by Seattle six times in the first round of the 2014 MLB Rookie Draft. However, his growth rate after entering the professional league did not meet expectations at all. 메이저사이트
He made his Major League debut as a member of Atlanta in 2019, which took five years, and became a journeyman between Miami, Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. He became an FA after the end of this season and signed a minor contract with Cincinnati on the 9th of last month, but was traded to the Yankees on the same day without wearing a uniform.
