He was the No. 35 overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He was traded to the San Diego Padres in 2019 at the trade deadline and then to the Mariners in 2020. He made his debut with the Mariners in 2021.
In 351 plate appearances with the Mariners, Trammell had a .168/.270/.368 slash line with 15 home runs and 39 RBI from the left side of the plate.
To make room for Trammell on the 40-man roster, the Yankees designated infielder Kevin Smith for assignment.
