The New York Yankees have traded pitcher Camilo Doval to the Pittsburgh Pirates, a move that comes approximately one year after acquiring him as part of a significant deadline deal to reshape their bullpen. The Yankees received prospects Luis Cruz and Omar Alfonzo in the transaction.
Doval, who is under team control through the 2027 season, struggled to meet expectations with the Yankees. This past season, he posted a 4.54 earned run average across 44 appearances. His performance in high-leverage situations led to his relegation to less critical roles in recent games.
The Yankees are reportedly still seeking to acquire an impactful pitcher to strengthen their bullpen, and the departure of Doval, known for his high-velocity pitches, may be viewed as an addition by subtraction for the team.
