The New York Yankees are reportedly finalizing a trade to acquire outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants. Sources informed ESPN's Jeff Passan of the impending deal on Monday. The Yankees, who are currently leading the American League wild-card standings, have been actively searching for right-handed hitting reinforcements for the latter part of the season. If the trade passes medical evaluations, Ramos is expected to fulfill that need.

A 26-year-old left fielder, Ramos has posted a .265 batting average this season, along with nine home runs and 34 RBIs. Originally a first-round selection by the Giants in 2017, Ramos has accumulated five MLB seasons. His career statistics include a .257 average, 53 home runs, and 177 RBIs.

The Yankees are set to begin a series against the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday evening at Yankee Stadium. The news of this potential acquisition was initially broken by The Athletic.
