Breaking: Luke Voit traded to Padres

According to Jon Heyman of the MLB Network, the New York Yankees are trading the first baseman to the San Diego Padres.

The 31-year-old was dealt from the St. Louis Cardinals to the Yankees in 2018 and instantly went on a tear, slashing .333/.405/.689 in 47 games with the Yankees down the stretch of that season.

He led the American League in home runs with 22 in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season but struggled to earn consistent playing time the season after with the additions of Joey Gallo and Anthony Rizzo.

The Wildwood, Mo., native has 73 home runs and an OPS of .867 across five big league seasons.
