The New York Yankees<\/a>acquired veteran outfielder Heliot Ramos<\/a> from the San Francisco Giants<\/a>for two prospects, the teams announced Monday.<\/p>\n

The Yankees, who lead the American League wild-card race and are set to open a series vs. the St. Louis Cardinals<\/a> on Monday night, have been seeking right-handed hitters for the stretch run, and Ramos should help to provide it.<\/p>\n

“If they traded for me, it’s because they want me, obviously. So, I’m very proud,” Ramos told reporters Monday night in Texas, where the Giants are taking on the Rangers<\/a>. “It’s the Yankees, at the end of the day. That’s an organization that, when you’re a kid and you’re Puerto Rican, everybody knows about it. Everybody wants it.”<\/p>\n

A 26-year-old left fielder, Ramos is hitting .265 with nine home runs and 34 RBIs this season. A 2017 first-round pick by San Francisco, Ramos is a career .257 hitter with 53 home runs and 177 RBIs in five seasons in the majors.<\/p>\n

“Who doesn’t love the Yankees? I’m very happy. I’m very proud,” Ramos said. “I can’t wait to hear from [Aaron] Judge<\/a> and all those guys, the way they play, the way they are. It’s going to be fun, for sure.”<\/p>\n

In return, the Yankees sent minor league infielder Kaeden Kent and left-handed pitcher Henry Lalane to the Giants.br\/]<\/p>\n
