Ramos Trade Backfiring for Yankees | New York Yankees News

The Yankees’ late-August trade for Heliot Ramos backfired spectacularly—what was meant to be a platoon solution with Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger sidelined has instead become a lineup liability. In 24 games, Ramos is hitting just .145 with one homer and four RBIs, despite improved plate discipline and some luck-based metrics. His defense in left field is equally troubling, with sloppy routes and missed routine plays. With Judge and Bellinger returning, Ramos now competes with hotter hitters like Spencer Jones, who’s excelling against lefties. After surrendering two top prospects, this deal looks like one of the Yankees’ biggest missteps of the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
