Yastrzemski, 34, spent six years in the Baltimore Orioles’ farm system before being traded to the Giants in March 2019. Despite making his debut at 28, Yastrzemski established himself as a mainstay in San Francisco’s outfield and played 790 games over seven major-league seasons. During that time, he hit 114 home runs and posted a .768 OPS.

For the second day in a row, the San Francisco Giants dealt a key figure from their best unit, moving 2023 All-Star closer Camilo Doval to the Yankees. They also sent Mike Yastrzemski to the Royals.

Doval was sent down to Triple A last season amid struggles but had rebounded this year to regain the Giants' closer role.
