The New York Yankees agreed to trade veteran catcher Jose Trevino to the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, according to multiple reports.

Trevino, 32, had been in New York the past three seasons and reached the All-Star Game in 2022. Last year, he appeared in 73 games for the Yankees and posted a .642 OPS with eight home runs and 28 RBIs.

Trevino is a more defensive-minded backstop who excelled at setting up throws behind the plate during his All-Star season. However, his throwing arm leaves a lot to be desired. He ranked last among qualified catchers in throwing speed, and teams expressed a willingness to attack the bases more aggressively when Trevino was in the lineup, as opposed to other catchers.

In exchange for Trevino, the Yankees acquired right-handed relief pitcher Fernando Cruz and catcher Alex Jackson from Cincinnati. Cruz, 34, made 69 appearances for the Reds last year, posting a 4.86 ERA with 109 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings. Jackson, who turns 29 next week, has appeared in 124 games since making his MLB debut in 2019 but has a career OPS of .456.

Trevino was pushed into more of a backup role for the Yankees last year with the emergence of Austin Wells, who is slated to be the team’s starting catcher in 2025.
