The 23-year-old went 10-3 with the Thunder this season while registering a 3.41 ERA across 18 starts. Although he’s not ranked on the Yankees Top-30 prospects list by MLB Pipeline, this trade does open a spot on the Yankees’ 40-man roster.
Ramirez was signed as international free agent by Diamondbacks, Jan. 25, 2011 and was selected in the Rule 5 minor league draft on Dec. 10, 2015. Across 98 career games, he posted a 1.148 WHIP.
