NBC SportsJoel Sherman and Jon Heyman of the New York Post report that the Reds have agreed to a deal to acquire Jose Trevino from the Yankees.

In return, the Reds will be sending Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson to the Yankees. Trevino is a highly skilled defender behind the plate and a former Platinum Glove winner. He had a rough year offensively in 2024, slashing just .215/.288/.354 with eight homers and 28 RBI in 234 plate appearances. He'll share the load behind the plate with Tyler Stephenson for the Reds in 2025 but shouldn't garner much interest from a fantasy perspective.

NBC SportsReds acquired C Jose Trevino from the Yankees for RHP Fernando Cruz and C Alex Jackson.

This one is a bit of a head-scratcher, as you would have thought the Reds would value one of the filthiest bullpen arms in the game (and one that's under team control through the 2028 season) more than a defensive-minded backup catcher, but I digress. In addition to his defensive prowess, Trevino will also bring moxie and veteran leadership to the Reds where he'll serve as the primary backup behind Tyler Stephenson. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
