The New York Yankees are currently in the midst of a pivotal period as they approach the trade deadline. General Manager Brian Cashman is under pressure to make strategic moves to enhance the team’s playoff chances. Aaron Judge has hinted at potential trade actions, and rumors are swirling about several possible acquisitions (Yardbarker).
One of the primary targets for the Yankees is Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Miami Marlins. Chisholm, who has played both as a center fielder and second baseman, could potentially fill gaps in the Yankees’ infield, which has struggled offensively (MLB.com). Another player linked to the Yankees is Ryan McMahon of the Colorado Rockies. McMahon, a left-handed hitter signed through 2027, could be a valuable addition, especially considering the Yankees’ need for third-base help (MLB.com).
Additionally, the Yankees have been scouting the Chicago Cubs, with Cody Bellinger being a name of interest. Although the Yankees’ outfield is strong, Bellinger could address their first base needs following Anthony Rizzo’s injury (MLB.com).
