With the season well underway, it’s worth noting that the Yankees traded away a potential 2026 All-Star.
Back in 2023, they made a trade that sent Jake Bauers to the Milwaukee Brewers.
The Yankees wrote (via X) on November 17, 2023: “The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired minor league outfielders Jace Avina and Brian Sánchez from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for INF/OF Jake Bauers.”
Bauers had a quiet first two seasons in Milwaukee.
That said, he has been outstanding this year.
The 30-year-old is currently batting .286 with 56 hits, 12 home runs, 43 RBI’s, 38 runs and five stolen bases in 56 games.
