TRADE: New York Yankees Acquire Heliot Ramos From San Francisco Giants

Ramos, an outfielder, has slashed .264/.304/.424 with nine home runs and 34 RBI this season. He is a poor defender.

Ramos has five years of big-league experience, all with the Giants. In his MLB career, Ramos has hit .257/.316/.419 with 53 home runs and 177 RBI. He is under team control through 2029.

With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Cody Bellinger all sidelined with injuries, Ramos provides a much-needed boost to the Yankees’ offense.

Kent, a shortstop, ranked as the Yankees’ No. 13 prospect before the deal. At the High-A level this season, Kent, 22, has hit .301/.359/.433 with six home runs and 43 RBI.

Lalane, 22, ranks as New York’s No. 5 prospect before the trade. Lalane is a right-handed pitcher with a fastball that sits at 94 mph and reaches 98 mph. He has a nasty low-80s changeup in his arsenal and mixes in a mid-70s slurve and 78-82 mph sweeper.
