After the New York Yankees‘ victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Friday night, general manager Brian Cashman secured a speedy outfielder in an uncommon trade with the Boston Red Sox.
In need of additional athleticism and speed, the Yankees reacquired former outfielder Greg Allen, trading right-handed pitcher Diego Hernandez and cash considerations in return.

At the age of 30, Allen had a 46-game stint with the Pittsburgh Pirates last season, during which he batted .186 with a .260 OBP, contributing two home runs and eight RBIs.
