Just as Trevino’s trade created a void at backup catcher for the Yankees, the Reds will need to replace a workhorse pitcher who appeared in a team-high 69 games, including three starts as an opener.

CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Reds acquired veteran catcher Jose Trevino in a trade with the New York Yankees on Friday. Known more for his defensive ability, Trevino batted .215 with eight homers and 28 RBIs in 74 games for the AL East champions this year. He was a backup by the end of the year after rookie Austin Wells took over behind the plate.

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