Ramos Has Been Struggling Big Time Since Being Traded to Yankees
The Yankees acquired Ramos from the San Francisco Giants at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline with the expectation that he would give their outfield a real boost. However, that has not happened yet, as he has struggled immensely since being traded to New York.
In 23 games with the Yankees since the trade earlier this season, he has one home run, four RBI, and an extremely low .134 batting average. This is after he posted nine home runs, 34 RBI, and a .264 batting average in 74 games for the Giants before the trade.
With this, Ramos will undoubtedly be looking to heat back up after being put back into New York’s lineup. Let’s see if he can do just that.
