New York Yankees acquire IF Rougned Odor in trade with Texas Rangers

The New York Yankees have acquired infielder Rougned Odor from the Texas Rangers.

The Rangers will receive minor league outfielders Antonio Cabello and Josh Stowers, with the Yankees also getting cash considerations in the deal.

Texas is expected to absorb almost the entirety of the $27 million owed to Odor, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan. He's due $12 million this year, $12 million in 2022 and a $3 million buyout on a $13 million club option in 2023.

Odor spent the past seven seasons as the Rangers' starting second baseman, but an attempt to convert him into a third baseman ended with Odor failing to make the team's Opening Day roster.
