Edwar Ramirez Traded to Texas Rangers for Cash Considerations

Edwar Ramirez has just been traded to the Texas Rangers for cash considerations. The Yankees bullpen was already very crowded, so this is an extremely low risk move. However, it also has relatively low reward. They’re getting cash back. They’re not getting a random prospect who could grow into a serviceable player. Granted, a player of Edwar Ramirez’s caliber would not warrant a top prospect in a trade, but maybe they could have taken a project of some sort off Texas’s hands. Regardless, for the situation the Yankees were in, it’s not bad at all. The bullpen was pretty full, so it’s much more useful to at least get something for one of those pitchers than just let him sit in AAA. Maybe they can do something nice for the fans with the cash they got, like lower ticket prices!

How do you think the Yanks made out in this move?
