Trivino’s MLB Career

Trivino was picked in the 11th round of the 2013 MLB Draft.
He spent the first four and a half seasons of his career with the Athletics.
In that span, the 34-year-old went 20-23 with a 4.04 ERA in 260 games.
The New York Yankees then traded for Trivino during the 2022 season.
They wrote (via X) on August 1, 2022: “The New York Yankees today announced that they have acquired RHP Frankie Montas and RHP Lou Trivino from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for LHP JP Sears, INF Cooper Bowman, RHP Luis Medina and LHP Ken Waldichuk.”

During his short stint in New York, Trivino was outstanding, going 1-2 with a 1.66 ERA in 25 games.
However, he got hurt.
Max Goodman of NJ.com wrote (on November 17, 2023): “With the #Yankees electing to non-tender Lou Trivino tonight, both players acquired in the Frankie Montas trade are no longer in the organization. Both are free agents. Trivino was projected to make over $4 million this year. He underwent Tommy John surgery last May.”

The Phillies are the fourth-place team in the National League East with a 12-19 record in 31 games.
Meanwhile, the Yankees are the first-place team in the American League East with a 20-11 record in 31 games.
