One of the Yankees’ biggest needs heading into Monday’s trade deadline was a right-handed hitter, preferably one who could provide a boost offensively behind the plate or in the outfield. They took their time getting a deal done, but were ultimately able to secure precisely that in a trade with the Giants, having agreed to acquire outfielder Heliot Ramos.
The full trade sees Ramos head to New York in exchange for left-handed pitching prospect Henry Lalane, the organization’s No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. Also heading to San Francisco is Kaeden Kent, son of MLB Hall of Famer Jeff Kent. Kaeden was the Yankees’ No. 13 prospect.
