ASTROS TRADE FOR TRAMMELL
The Houston Astros acquired outfielder Taylor Trammell from the New York Yankees for cash.
What does it give the Houston Astros
Trammell will provide Houston with outfield depth heading into the 2025 season. The 27-year-old has intriguing speed and power, but he has yet to have success against MLB pitching. After another decent season in Triple-A ball, he should compete for a bench or platoon role with the Astros this spring.
What does it give the New York Yankees
With the Yankees, Trammell appeared in just five games early last season before spending the year in the minors. He was due to become a free agent, but New York added him to their 40-man roster one day prior to this trade. It was a wise move, as they were able to get cash for him instead of losing him for nothing.
Fantasy impact
Trammell has yet to earn regular playing time in the MLB, and that is unlikely to change after this trade. He should not be a factor in fantasy leagues.
