Yankees Acquire Austin Slater in Trade with White Sox Ahead of 2025 MLB Deadline
The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Austin Slater from the Chicago White Sox before the 2025 MLB trade deadline, adding depth to their outfield while dealing prospect Gage Ziehl. Slater, who is on an expiring contract, provides right-handed batting support and versatility in the outfield, especially useful with Aaron Judge injured.
