The New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire left fielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants, multiple outlets reported Monday.
The return was not yet known, but MLB.com reported that Yankees left-handed pitching prospect Henry LaLane was “believed to be” the primary piece going to San Francisco.
Ramos, 26, was batting .264 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs across 74 games for the Giants this season.
He’s played parts of five seasons with San Francisco since being drafted in the first round (19th overall) by the club in 2017. Ramos is a career .257 batter who’s hit 53 home runs and amassed 177 RBIs over 386 career games. He was an All-Star in 2024 and finished that season with career highs of 22 homers, 72 RBIs and a .269 average.
The Yankees needed help in left field after Cody Bellinger went on the injured list July 26 with a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
Ramos is the second acquisition the Yankees have made before the deadline, following lefty-hitting infielder Luis Garcia Jr. from the Washington Nationals in exchange for four pitchers on Sunday.
