The New York Yankees have agreed to a deal to acquire outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants, ESPN reported. The 26-year-old is hitting .264 with a .728 OPS, nine home runs and 34 RBIs in 74 games this season. Ramos, an All-Star in 2024, hit 43 total homers in the previous two seasons.
This move comes a day after the Yankees acquired first baseman Luis Garcia from the Washington Nationals. The trades show New York's clear desire to upgrade their lineup, which has struggled since Aaron Judge's injury in early August. The Yankees remain in contention in the AL East at 63-49, trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by 2.5 games. playerbros.org
