Giants Trade Outfielder Ramos to Yankees
3 Aug
Summary
- Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos is reportedly being traded to the Yankees.
- Ramos was the Giants' first-round pick in 2017.
- He was a popular player with the Giants and their fans.
The San Francisco Giants are reportedly in the process of trading outfielder Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees. Ramos, who was the Giants' first-round selection in 2017, is under team control through the 2029 season.
He achieved notable milestones for the Giants, becoming the first homegrown outfielder to play in an All-Star Game since 1986 and the first left fielder to start consecutive Opening Days since 2007. Ramos offers reliable hitting against left-handed pitching and considerable power.
Despite his valuable skills, Ramos is considered expendable by the Giants due to his struggles against right-handed pitching and his outfield defense. The team also has emerging talent with a similar profile.
Ramos's departure is expected to be a significant loss for the Giants' fanbase, given his popularity and the long development time required to cultivate an outfielder of his caliber.
