The New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire infielder Rougned Odor from the Texas Rangers, sources tell ESPN's Jeff Passan.
The Rangers are expected to absorb almost the entirety of the $27 million owed to Odor, sources said. 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.
