New York Yankees Pull Off Early Trade with Brewers for Outfielders

The New York Yankees have traded Jake Bauers to the Milwaukee Brewers for two prospects.

The New York Yankees and Milwaukee Brewers have a trade in place. The Brewers will acquire outfielder Jake Bauers. In return, the Yankees will receive a pair of prospects in Jace Avina and Brian Sánchez.

For the Yankees last season, Bauers didn't do much to warrant keeping him around. He ended with a .202 batting average and hit 12 home runsin 242 at-bats. Bauers wasn't somebody that was expected to play a ton for New York last season, but due to injuries, he had to play in a bigger role.

Jace Avina spent the 2023 MILB season in A ball, posting a .233 average with 14 home runs. He stole 22 bags and finished with an OPS of .815.

Brian Sanchez spent time in the DSL as the 19-year-old got 101 at-bats this past season. Sanchez hit .297 with no home runs.

New York will look to keep making moves as the offseason continues.
