The only way I wouldn't give up Volpe is if they also have to take on Corbin.

You can still have a bevy of prospects (Peraza, Florial who's at an advanced age but has absolutely raked down on the farm over the last 6 weeks, even Dominguez) and get rid of a horrible contract, but you can't have the crown jewel in that case.

good trade.  I already hated Benintendi, so he'll fit in nicely with your roster.

Good pickup; 2022 BA .320, OBP .387.  Not much power but Yanks need people to clog the bases. Now all they have to do is get him vaxxed.  On the flip side this probably means Cashman's not going after Soto after giving up three prospects (esp. if he's still eyeing Castillo)

Apparently he's already agreed to get the shot.

This is what I assume, and he certainly makes the lineup better.
The cost wasn't close to prohibitive, either.

Yanks trade 4 prospects to the A’s for starter Frankie Montez and reliever Lou Trevino.
Montez ok, but Trevino?  Trivino, 30, is 1-6 with a 6.47 ERA and 10 saves this season.

Clay Holmes had a 4.93 ERA with Pitt when we acquired him last year.

Check out Trivino’s 2018 and 2021 seasons. Matt Blake will be trying to unlock that again. He throws a power sinker, we’ve had a lot of succes with Lasagana and Holmes with that pitch lately.

Also factor in that we’re taking him out of a closer role and putting him into low leverage spots. Yanks have had so many significant injuries to the pen this year, they need arms. He’s more of a throw-in on this deal.

Holy excrement Trivino is sporting a .451 BABIP

Leave average this year is .290
