The Post’s Joel Sherman reports that the Yankees obtained Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tim Locastro for Double-A pitcher Keegan Curtis.
Locastro will take some of the weight off Aaron Judge, as he can make starts in center field against left-handers.
In addition, the 28-year-old is a major speed threat. In 2019, he stole 17 bases in 91 games. He holds the record of most stolen bases without being caught to start a career at 29.
Curtis currently holds a 3.94 ERA in the minors this season over 16 innings. In his three-year minor league career, the 25-year-old has 83 strikeouts with an opponent batting average of .205.
