The Yankees have acquired veteran catcher Joe Trevino from the Rangers in exchange for right-hander Albert Abreu and left-hander Robert Ahlstrom, the team announced on Saturday evening.

Abreu appeared in 28 games with the Yankees last season, a reliever with plenty of potential at the big-league level. The 26-year-old posted a 5.15 ERA in 2021.

The problem with Abreu, however, was that he didn't have any minor league options remaining. That was poised to be an issue for manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees' coaching staff as they are set to embark on the first month of the regular season, routinely restocking the bullpen with fresh arms to allow everyone to ease into their full-season workload after an abbreviated spring.
