As fierce rivals and competitors in the American League East, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox typically don’t make trades with each other.

Correction: A previous version of this article wrongly stated that Ottavino had been traded for German.]
The trade is a salary dump for the Yankees, who clear nearly all of Ottavino’s $9 million salary for 2021 off their payroll. Boston will also be responsible for the $3 million deferred signing bonus that is set to be paid in 2022. According to ESPN’s Buster Olney, the Yankees will only cover $850,000 of Ottavino’s salary this season.
