Reds Acquire All-Star Catcher Jose Trevino from Yankees

The Cincinnati Reds have made a significant move by acquiring All-Star catcher Jose Trevino from the New York Yankees. The trade, announced on Friday evening, sees the Reds sending right-handed reliever Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson to the Yankees in exchange for Trevino.

Trevino, 32, has a notable track record, having earned an All-Star selection in 2022 and winning both the Gold Glove and Platinum Glove awards. Despite splitting time as a backup catcher last season, Trevino maintained a solid defensive presence with a batting average of .215, eight home runs, and 28 RBIs over 73 appearances. 

Fernando Cruz, a 34-year-old right-handed reliever, had a standout season with a 14.72 K/9 ratio, ranking highest in the Majors among pitchers with at least 50 innings pitched. Over his three seasons with the Cincinnati Reds, he has struck out an impressive 228 batters in 147.1 innings.
