The New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants, addressing a significant need in their injury-riddled outfield. The deal, which includes pitcher Henry LaLane going to the Giants, comes as injuries have sidelined key players like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger. Ramos, an established hitter with a.292/.343/.492 slash line against left-handers this season, is expected to bolster the Yankees' offense. The Yankees currently hold a 63-49 record and trail the Tampa Bay Rays by 2.5 games in the standings.
