2025 Fantasy Outlook
Trevino was an odd platoon partner for Austin Wells in 2024 for a few reasons. Neither hit lefty pitching well at all, so their platoon usage was not cut and dry. Trevino had previously hit lefties well, but the stickiness of that skill year over year is very poor and Trevino reminded us of that yet again. Trevino is also the opposite of Wells behind the plate because Trevino is one of the worst catchers in the league in prohibiting stolen bases. He caught 7 of 52 attempts with his 1st percentile pop time. He is, however, a fantastic blocker and framer which endeares him to both the coaches and the pitchers as the club leans heavily on sliders and sweepers down. 2022 was very likely peak Trevino and the rise of Austin Wells all but caps Trevino's days behind the plate to under 300 plate apperances barring injury to Wells. This is not a skillset that needs more playing time and can safely be ignored in all but deep 2-catcher AL Only leagues. Read Past Outlooks

December 20, 2024
The Yankees traded Trevino to the Reds on Friday in exchange for Fernando Cruz and Alex Jackson, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Trevino slashed .215/.288/.354 with eight homers and 28 RBI over 234 regular-season plate appearances in 2024 while backing up Austin Wells. With Tyler Stephenson already in Cincinnati, Trevino will almost certainly continue to act as a backup, but the 32-year-old's career .637 OPS isn't likely to earn him a spot in the lineup very often.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
Trevino worked as the Yankees' primary backstop in 2022, but his 2023 campaign was derailed by a wrist injury that required season-ending surgery in July. The 31-year-old struggled offensively prior to the injury, with his .569 OPS being 102 points lower than his mark from a year prior. He maintained his elite level of defense, however, which gives him a strong base heading into 2024. Trevino should open the season in the mix behind the plate for New York, but he won't necessarily operate as the primary backstop following the late-season promotion of prospect Austin Wells, who may be the favorite for the job.
Texas brought in Mitch Garver in the offseason making Trevino an expendable player which the Yankees gladly accepted after they traded away Gary Sanchez and found themselves in need of a catcher when Ben Rortvedt went down with an oblique injury. Trevino flourished with the Yankees with his best power numbers to date and stellar defense behind the dish which quickly allowed him to overtake Kyle Higashioka as the primary catcher . Trevino does not have any one standout offensive skill, but he hits in a deep lineup when it is healthy and ne can turn on a mistake to pull it out to left field. 7 of his 11 homers came off non-fastball and his execpted statistics on both breaking balls and changeups were much better than his actual numbers which speaks to how he was able to surprise us at the plate. The defense will keep him as the starting catcher, but look for him to maintain his production rather than take another step forward in 2023.
Trevino spent a brief period as the Rangers' number one catcher last season in between a demotion and a season-ending wrist injury. He appears set for a significant role behind the plate in 2021 with Jeff Mathis a free agent and Isiah Kiner-Falefa now a full-time infielder, but that's more by default than due to any particular skill on Trevino's part. The 28-year-old didn't project as anything more than a backup as a prospect, and he's hit like one (or worse) in his 217 plate appearances at the highest level thus far. His .250/.280/.434 line last season actually dragged his career wRC+ up, all the way to a rather poor 65. Given his age and the fact that he hit just .233/.272/.326 over his last three seasons in the minors, there's little reason to expect a sudden breakout. That leaves Trevino unworthy of much consideration outside of formats deep enough that any catcher with much playing time earns a spot.
Trevino got into 40 games for the Rangers in the back half of 2019 but looked generally out of his depth, posting a .258/.272/.383 slash line (59 wRC+) with just two homers. His batting average was at least respectable, and an empty batting average does have more value in most fantasy leagues than it does in real life, but there's little reason to expect him to even be able to repeat that next season. The 27-year-old hasn't been anywhere close to a good hitter in the minors, posting a .239/.278/.326 slash line in Double-A and a .226/.263/.336 line at the Triple-A level. With Robinson Chirinos back with the Rangers and veteran Jeff Mathis still under contract, Trevino will likely serve as the third catcher in the minors for much of the season. That's the role he's best suited for, judging by his past numbers, and it's unlikely he has much fantasy value even if he gets unexpected playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not defending run game
CNew York Yankees
June 21, 2024
Trevino's 2.08-second pop time ranks 65th of 67 catchers while his 71.6-mph arm strength ranks last, reports Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.
ANALYSIS
The issues in the run game have been especially prevalent of late, with Boston and Baltimore stealing 14 bases against Trevino over his past three starts. The 31-year-old's strong work as a framer balances out his defensive value, but it could be an issue for the Yankees if opposing teams continue to run wild. Austin Wells could see more work behind the plate as a result, though his .610 OPS is a significant drop from Trevino's .741 figure.
