The New York Yankees on Friday traded veteran catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson. The Yankees have announced the trade .

The New York Yankees agreed to trade veteran catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday evening, according to multiple reports. Trevino, 32, had been in New York for the previous three seasons and made the All-Star Game in 2022.

Just as Trevino’s trade created a void at backup catcher for the Yankees, the Reds will need to replace a workhorse pitcher who appeared in a team-high 69 games, including three starts as an opener.
