With good and bad streaks this season of MLB, the New York Yankees they continue to fight for the vanguard positions in their division.
Injuries to key figures are again a problem for the group of Aaron boone, who could look for one of these changes with his sights set on the playoffs.
The pitcher Puerto Rican The Minnesota Twins are 7-2 this year with a 3.41 ERA and 96 strikeouts. The 27-year-old right-hander can be very useful in New York’s rotation, which has Gerrit Cole on highs and lows and injured Corey Kluber and Luis Severino. In exchange, the Twins can host prospects Luis Medina and Estevan Florial, two of their top 10 prospects.
The future of the Dominican outfielder in the Miami Marlins does not seem clear and with the injury of Aaron Hicks, the Yankees need an outfield defender. Plus, he’s hitting over .300, something they need in the Bronx team’s lineup. To acquire it, Brian Cashman will have to part with some prospects, such as Austin Wells or Josh Smith.
Gleyber Torres continues to have defensive problems and also with the wood and that is why rumors are ringing again that the Yankees will look for a shortstop. Trevor Story could be far from the aspirations of New York for a financial issue and that opens the door to imagine the arrival of Freddy Galvis, the Venezuelan of the Baltimore Orioles. For him they will not have to part with valuable pieces from the farms, it would be enough to have some economic consideration or to agree on a player to be named later.
Max Scherzer would be perfect to accompany Gerrit Cole, but you have to adjust to the reality of the market. The Yankees may prefer a less expensive option, like the 29-year-old right-hander who pitches for the Colorado Rockies. He is 4-6 with a 3.97 ERA. Colorado won’t be asking that much in return, and it could be an opportunity to hand over Miguel Andújar or some prospects outside of the top 10.
Despite his physical problems, the Dominican insurance is still among the targets of New York management. His defensive versatility and his contribution with the wood make him ideal to be the great acquisition of this summer. Estevan Florial’s name and Albert Abreu’s name may be on the table as part of the negotiation, which may have lost value for Arizona.
