New York Yankees Opening Day Roster Prediction After Jose Trevino Trade

The Yankees made a trade on Saturday night, sending Albert Abreu to Texas in exchange for Jose Trevino. TreVino is a veteran catcher. The Yankees have three more Grapefruit League games before they head north. The team has to shuffle their pitching staff early this season. There is still time for a player to earn a spot. This is an updated version of the prediction for who will make the Opening Day roster.

The New York Yankees traded Jose Trevino and Albert Abreu to the Texas Rangers.

Jose Trevino is the ideal candidate to replace Kyle Higashioka as the Yankees' catcher. Treveino has the experience and defensive skills to compete with the other internal options. Higashia has clubbed seven home runs in nine games this spring.

DJ LeMahieu, Gleyber Torres, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Josh Donaldson and Marwin Gonzalez are the Yankees' infielders. They are a result of their roster construction this past offseason.

Tim Locastro is on the 40-man roster. He can play all three outfield spots. Aaron Boone wants to start the season with 12 position players. He would love to have a four-person bench instead of a three-men bench. Jose Trevino was traded to the Red Sox.

Gerrit Cole, Luis Severino, Jordan Montgomery, Jameson Taillon and Nestor Cortes are the starting pitchers for the Red Sox-Braves series.

Ron Marinaccio, Manny Bañuelos and JP Sears are the players who deserve to be added to the Yankees' roster. Luis Gil, Clarke Schmidt and Deivi García are already on the 40-man roster and will start the season in Triple-A. Baño is a former Yankees prospect who is back with the team this year. He has been impressive in the Grapefruit League play so far. He can make a spot start or play multiple innings in relief. Last year, the Yanks rewarded a veteran with a roster spot after a strong spring. Lucas Luetge played in this position last year and is expected to play in 2022.
