There are many rumors that run in the MLB on the intentions of the New York Yankees to agree to a trade that brings a much-needed outfielder to the Bronx.
But for now the only certainty is that Giancarlo Stanton will have to grab a glove and go outfield when they play on the road against the Miami Marlins weekend.
It’s not just because of the injuries of 6 outfield players, it’s also due to the fact that there is no designated hitter in the National League, the role that Stanton has been limited to trying to take care of his frail physique.
“I think he’s ready to do it and he’s been preparing for it,” the manager told the NY Post. Aaron boone on Sunday. “So I hope it happens next week in Miami.”

The San Diego Padres will take second baseman and outfielder Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates. At least that’s what a Jeff Passan report for ESPN assures.
The Pirates will receive Venezuelan shortstop Tucupita Marcano, outfielder Jack Suwinski and right-hander Michell Miliano in exchange for Frazier.
The Padres will also receive $ 1.4 million from Pittsburgh to complete the deal.
The San Diego Padres are acquiring second baseman / outfielder Adam Frazier from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources tell ESPN.
Frazier, 29, leads baseball in hits this year and is not a free agent until after the 2022 season. One of the best bats on the trade market.
