The Yankees have acquired right-hander Angel Chivilli from the Rockies for first-base prospect T.J. Rumfield, both clubs announced Wednesday.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees have designated OF Michael Siani for assignment.
TRADE DETAILS
Yankees get: RHP Angel Chivilli
Rockies get: 1B T.J. Rumfield (Yankees’ No. 22 prospect)
Chivilli, 23, has posted a 6.18 ERA with 71 strikeouts, 33 walks and 20 homers allowed over 90 1/3 innings out of Colorado’s bullpen over the past two seasons.
That said, he throws hard and generated a combined 43.5% whiff rate on offspeed and breaking pitches in 2025, so he may still have some untapped potential as he moves away from hitter-friendly Coors Field.
Rumfield, meanwhile, could factor into the Rockies’ first-base picture this spring after the club moved on from Michael Toglia in November.
A left-handed hitter, Rumfield slashed .285/.378/.447 with 16 homers and 31 doubles over 138 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. The 25-year-old was the Yankees’ No. 22 prospect at the end of the year.
The Phillies took Rumfield in the 12th round of the 2021 MLB Draft before trading him to the Yankees with left-hander Joel Valdez for right-hander Nick Nelson and catcher Donny Sands that offseason.
