At the event, Trevino added a very gratifying message for the kids, and said, “I plan on supporting them as much as I can, whatever they need, and whenever they need it.”
How did arriving in New York change Trevino’s career trajectory?
During the 2022 offseason, the New York Yankees traded Albert Abreu and Robert Ahlstrom in exchange for Jose Trevino. Since Trevino made his MLB debut in 2018 with the Rangers, his list of accolades and presence as a whole was quite silent.
