For the first time in seven years, the Yankees and Red Sox have agreed on a trade.
Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reported that the Yankees have traded Adam Ottavino, prospect Frank German and $850,000 in a salary dump to Boston, who will take on most of the money remaining in Ottavino’s contract. The Yankees will receive cash considerations or a player to be named later.
The Yankees are kicking in $850,000 into the Ottavino trade.

The #Yankees basically said they would rather have what else they can get in this marketplace for, say, between $5M-$10M within budget to stay under $210M luxury tax threshold than Ottavino/F.
