Yastrzemski, 34, spent six years in the Baltimore Orioles’ farm system before being traded to the Giants in March 2019. Despite making his debut at 28, Yastrzemski established himself as a mainstay in San Francisco’s outfield and played 790 games over seven major-league seasons. During that time, he hit 114 home runs and posted a .768 OPS.

For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants dealt a key figure from their best unit, moving 2023 All-Star closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees. They also sent Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals.

To beef up their bullpen, the Yankees acquired Giants reliever Camilo Doval just shortly before the 6 p.m. deadline. To complete the trade, the Yankees sent San Francisco four minor league prospects: catcher Jesús Rodríguez, right-handed pitcher Trystan Vrieling, infielder Parks Harber and lefty Carlos de la Rosa.
