New York is still at the top of the American League East, but things are getting tighter with the Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays surging this month.<\/p>\n<p>There have been multiple reports that the Yankees will either target a left-side infielder (third baseman) or attempt to land another back-end of the bullpen arm. While the Yankees\u2019 rotation is slightly depleted right now, they expect to get both Luis Gil and Marcus Stroman back as the summer progresses.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>MLB Insider Reveals Yankees\u2019 Deadline Plans<\/h2>\n<p>On MLB Network just a few days ago, MLB insider Jon Heyman announced the New York Yankees\u2019 general plan at the deadline looms:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a strong starting rotation already in place and not many great rotation options available on the trade market, the Yankees are likely to emphasize bullpen help at the Trade Deadline, MLB Network insider Jon Heyman said Monday. Though the team\u2019s relief corps has a 3.46 ERA, which ranks fifth in the AL, \u201cthe focus will be on the \u2018pen, no question about it,\u201d Heyman said. The team could also look to upgrade at third base or try to land a utility player, he said.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees could also use some offense, but the organization believes the offensive pieces they have will turn it around, and with Aaron Judge\u2019s star power, Giancarlo Stanton\u2019s return to the lineup, they will be okay on that front.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Trade Proposal<\/h2>\n<p>In this recent trade idea, the New York Yankees land 2024 All-Star Kyle Finnegan from the Washington Nationals. It is believed that Finnegan is likely to be dealt as the Nationals are not going to be contenders this season. Finnegan has been a real bright spot for the Nationals\u2019 pitching staff. He has a 2.93 ERA in 27.1 innings pitched. To go along with that, he also has 22 strikeouts and 18 saves.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees are working closer Luke Weaver back from injury, but it is never a bad idea to have two solid arms in the bullpen that can garner saves at any moment. As Heyman indicated, the Yankees have already seen stable contributions from their bullpen, but once the deadline season rolls around, every MLB contending team is looking to bolster its bullpen even further.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Finnegan was an All-Star last season with the Nationals. He recorded 38 saves in 2024 in over 63 innings. Finnegan features a lively fastball and a pair of breaking pitches to go along with it.<\/p>\n<p>As the calendar turns to July, a plethora of MLB teams will likely be calling Washington regarding Finnegan. Depending on what they would have to give up, the Yankees should seriously consider making this deal, as it would check all the boxes for their already solid pitching staff.<\/p>\n<p>Since it\u2019s already known that the Yankees plan to acquire relief pitchers, they will likely be tied into every conversation of other arms becoming available as the trade deadline gets closer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A New York Yankees trade idea lands an All-Star closer to bolster their bullpen in preparation for a World Series run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":72999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
