The New York Yankees will begin the season’s second half atop the American League East, but the division is still very much up for grabs as less than seven games separates first place from last place.
For the first time in a long time, the Yankees have the kind of high-upside prospects that other teams covet, which, along with the club’s deep pockets, puts them in a position to go out and acquire whatever they need.
But the club isn’t about to part ways with the likes of outfielder Aaron Judge or starter Luis Severino, and as they exhibited over the winter, adding aging stars (over the age of 30) that are due substantial money over a number of years simply isn’t something that they’re interested in doing.
So while they’ll constantly be linked to every name that comes across the rumor mill, some players simply aren’t as realistic a trade target as others.
Obvious areas of need include second base and the starting rotation, which could certainly use another established arm if, for nothing else, to provide some insurance against injury.
Whatever the Yankees ultimately decide to do, you can be sure that it’s going to be a busy few weeks leading up to the trade deadline in the Bronx.
Keep it here for the most up-to-the-minute rumblings about the Yankees, along with analysis and everything else that comes with it. While the post date will always show as July 15, simply click to the next slide to see the latest from the rumor mill as the Yankees look to add reinforcements for the stretch run.
