Yankees prospect Taylor Trammell had a delightful reaction to being guaranteed a World Series ring no matter what
While the Dodgers head into Tuesday's Game 4 of the World Series with a commanding 3-0 series lead, one player in the Yankees organization won't mind seeing the Dodgers lift the Commissioner's Trophy.
He's getting a ring no matter what.
In the most unusual of circumstances, Taylor Trammell -- an outfielder currently in the Yankees' minor-league system -- is guaranteed a World Series ring whether New York completes a historic comeback or not. The reason is simple: Trammell has appeared in regular season games for both the Dodgers and Yankees.
The 27-year-old outfielder started the season with the Dodgers where he went hitless in six at-bats. He was designated for assignment on April 16 and claimed off waivers by New York a couple days later. Though Trammell's stint with the Yankees was short before being sent down -- a hit and walk in two plate appearances -- that was enough to qualify for a Yankees ring.

The Athletic recently caught up with Trammell about his status as 2024's *first* World Series champion, and he was so proud to be able to call himself a champion. Via The Athletic:
“I get a ring now and that’s such a cool thing to say. For me, this is so awesome because I can say I’m a World Series champion now."
Nobody can take that away from him.
