The Pirates are clearly moving on from catcher Martin a free agent who is being courted by many big-league clubs. Therefore, the acquisition of Cervelli makes sense at this time. He should see more playing time in Pittsburgh and may emerge as a starter for the first time in his career. Cervelli's bat is underrated. This was a solid pickup for the Bucs, as they dealt from a position of strength to plug a big hole.

For the Yankees, adding lefty reliever Wilson should help their bullpen situation greatly. In 2014, New York struggled to find a consistent late-inning option from the left side. So Wilson was a solid pickup, especially since closer Robertson is a free agent and may not be back. Furthermore, they have plenty of catching depth in the system to overcome the loss of Cervelli--who was a backup in the Bronx anyway.

Both Cervelli and Wilson should benefit from a fantasy perspective following this trade. The former should compete with Sanchez for the No. 1 catching job, while Wilson should emerge as the top lefty in the Yanks' bullpen--and might even be in line for saves in 2015.
