Rumors had been swirling this afternoon, but now it's official: Heliot Ramos is moving from the San Francisco Giants to the New York Yankees, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire outfielder Heliot Ramos from the San Francisco Giants, sources tell ESPN. The Yankees have been seeking right-handed hitters, and if the deal clears the physical, Ramos will fill that need. @Ken_Rosenthal was the first to link Ramos to New York.

The Yankees have been in desperate need of a right-handed hitter since captain Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton went on the injured list, and Ramos—who boasts a career .847 OPS against left-handed pitchers—fits that profile perfectly.
The 26-year-old is batting .264 with 25 extra-base hits and 34 RBIs in 74 games this season. He hit more than 20 home runs in two consecutive seasons prior to this one.
He will not be eligible for free agency until 2030.
In return, the Giants are acquiring, among others, left-handed pitcher Henry Lalane as the top prospect in the trade, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. They will also receive infield prospect Kaeden Kent.
