The New York Yankees have pretty much all that they need to go on a deep run this season.
New York has the best starting rotation in baseball, solid offensive weapons all over the place, and at some point Aaron Judge will return. This is a team that can make a run and maybe even take down the Los Angeles Dodgers. But they shouldn't take their foot off the gas.
The trade deadline is going to be here in August and the Yankees should be looking to add. With the rotation as good as it is, they don't need to add there. A bullpen piece would be the most logical way for New York to improve. But if the right bat is out there, you should never close any doors.
One thing that was interesting is that while breaking down various landing spots for San Francisco Giants trade chips, Bleacher Report's Zachary Rymer called the Yankees the "wildest" potential landing spot for three-time All-Star Luis Arraez.
"Wildest Landing Spot: New York Yankees," Rymer wrote. "Jazz Chisholm Jr. took some heat in April, but he's come on strong with an .800 OPS since May 1. He has second base under control for the Yankees.
"But Chisholm can also play third base, where Ryan McMahon has the team swimming in replacement-level waters. If a different third baseman isn't forthcoming, trading for Arraez and moving Chisholm to third might be New York's best play."
If the Yankees could get Arraez's bat into the lineup, it would be worth shaking up the infield defensively. He's batting .321 right now and has also been excellent defensively. Should the Yankees try to make a move?
