Could Yankees Land Lockdown Twins Closer in 3-Player Blockbuster?
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees' bullpen has been a surprising Achilles' heel this season. Not only have the Yankees been one of the more reliable bullpen teams of the last half-decade, but they made a huge trade to add a lockdown closer before the season. Unfortunately, Devin Williams hasn't been his typical self for much of the season, though he's heated up lately. Perhaps the most effective way for the Yankees to re-establish their contender status is to bring in a top closer at the trade deadline to share the high-leverage workload with Williams. DETROIT, MI - JUNE 27: Jhoan Duran #59 of the Minnesota Twins reacts after striking out Parker Meadows of the Detroit Tigers for the final out in a Twins 4-1 win at Comerica Park on... DETROIT, MI - JUNE 27: Jhoan Duran #59 of the Minnesota Twins reacts after striking out Parker Meadows of the Detroit Tigers for the final out in a Twins 4-1 win at Comerica Park on June 27, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan. MoreESPN's Tristan Cockcroft has a name in mind for the Yankees to snag: fireballer Jhoan Durán of the Minnesota Twins. On Tuesday, Cockcroft proposed a mock trade that would bring Durán to New York and send two top prospects, infielder Roc Riggio and right-handed pitcher Carlos Lagrange, to Minnesota. "Acquiring Duran will be costly -- Lagrange has a similarly filthy fastball to Duran's and has been dominating in Double-A (2.35 ERA, 38.8 K% in his past six starts) -- but why not go big when you're a defending league champion in need?" wrote Cockcroft. "Duran, with his 100-mph heater, presents a nice contrast in styles to Williams' Airbender and Weaver's rising fastball. Remember, a dominant bullpen was critical to the Yankees' playoff run last year -- theirs had a 2.67 postseason ERA." Durán, 27, has a 2.01 ERA in 49 appearances this season, striking out 53 batters. He still somehow hasn't been an All-Star in his four big-league seasons, but all he's done is produce, with a 2.47 career ERA. Lagrange would be more valuable in the long run than Durán if he develops into a rotation fixture, but there's still a chance he could be a closer, in which case he'd be hoping for a career trajectory much like Durán's.

Yankees Projected to Replace Anthony Volpe With Trade Upgrade After Harsh Reception
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Yankees are stumbling into the trade deadline and it could be forcing a significant change of plans. After a strong start to the season and Most Valuable Player Award caliber first half from slugger Aaron Judge made it seem as if the Yankees would be making several dramatic upgrades at the deadline, a move to the injured list for Judge and a skid in the standings could be altering that outlook. "Not only are they playing like a sub-.500 team (15-24 since June 13), they sound like a group reduced to looking for scraps," Bob Klapisch wrote for "Yes: praying to sneak in the back door via the wild card and get hot for two weeks in October. It's embarrassing for a team that was seven games up in late May." If the Yankees are now thinking more about competing next season or even contemplating selling some pieces at the deadline, then their latest additions would mark their biggest for the year.

The Angels won 1-0. (Photo by) More Stier/Getty Ryan McMahon, acquired from the Colorado Rockies, appears to be a long-term solution at third base. And Amed Rosario, acquired from the Washington Nationals, could soon be a new starting shortstop option for the team. "I'd be worried if I were Anthony Volpe, who went 0-for-3 with two more strikeouts," Klapisch added, reporting on Monday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. "The (Yankee) Stadium crowd has grown tired of Volpe, who heard his loudest boos of the season. ... Just watch: at this rate, Rosario will be playing shortstop at least one or two days a week." The Yankees have stuck stubbornly with Volpe as the everyday shortstop despite a significant step back last year and a dramatic dip in defense this year. But with Volpe now batting ninth, hearing negative reactions from the home fans and sharing the position with Rosario, he could soon be giving up some starts to the Yankees' newest trade upgrade.

Yankees shouldn't even think about big-time trades
Brandon London's 'Morning Take' for July 29th, 2025, calls on Brian Cashman to not make any big-time trades to bolster a Yankees squad that has played subpar baseball against their AL East rivals this season and is in danger of slipping out of a postseason spot.
