Key Points:
- The Yankees traded right-handed reliever Camilo Doval and cash to the Pirates in exchange for two prospects: catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz.
- Doval, a 2023 National League All-Star with the Giants, struggled with the Yankees, posting a 4.82 ERA last season and a 4.54 ERA this year, leading to a reduced role.
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone expressed hope that Doval could return to a more significant pitching role despite recent struggles.
- Omar Alfonzo, Pittsburgh’s No. 17 prospect, is a 22-year-old catcher/outfielder hitting .239/.338/.420 at Double-A Altoona this season with a career .746 OPS in the minors.
