Yankees Acquire Outfielder Austin Slater

The Yankees acquire Austin Slater in a move aimed at bolstering their outfield depth against left-handed pitching. Slater brings versatility, postseason experience, and a strong platoon profile. With Aaron Judge sidelined, New York hopes to replicate production in aggregate, and Slater’s affordable contract makes him a low-risk, situational upgrade.
