Blockbuster Yankees Trade Prediction Brings Notorious Yankee Killer to Bronx

José Ramírez has long been a thorn in the New York Yankees' side. He has hit .332/.394/.560 against the team in his career.
The Yankees released DJ LeMahieu when they moved Jazz Chisholm Jr. back to second base. That leaves Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas as the primary third base options. Neither player has shown they can do much offensively, and SNY's John Harper predicted the Yankees would trade for Ramírez to fill their third base need and make a World Series run.
"Outbid by the (New York) Mets for (Eugenio) Suarez, a desperate (Brian) Cashman swallows hard and sends a big package, including Spencer Jones, to get a difference-maker at third base in Ramirez, the Guardians' perennial All-Star," predicted Harper. "As beloved as Ramirez is in Cleveland, he turns 33 in September, with three more years on his contract. And with the Guardians going nowhere this season they may see this as a chance to reload, depending on how highly they regard Jones, the Yankees' power-hitting outfield prospect."

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - JULY 13: José Ramírez #11 of the Cleveland Guardians hits an RBI sacrifice fly in the eighth inning against the Chicago White Sox at Rate Field on July 13, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. MoreRamírez has been with the Cleveland Guardians franchise since the start of his career. He signed a seven-year, $141 million deal in 2022 and will not be a free agent until 2029. He has a no-trade clause, but perhaps he would be willing to waive it to try and win a championship.
Ramírez is hitting .295 with a .869 OPS this season. He was also named an All-Star for the seventh time this year. Not only would Ramírez solve the Yankees' woes at third base, he would likely make them favorites in the American League.
A lineup headlined by Ramírez and Aaron Judge, with other former MVPs like Cody Bellinger, Paul Goldschmidt and Giancarlo Stanton, would be a nightmare to pitch against.

Twins place All-Star Byron Buxton on IL with rib injury, muddying team's waters ahead of trade deadline
The Minnesota Twins placed All-Star outfielder Byron Buxton on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with rib inflammation that's sidelined him since Saturday. The Twins initially declined to place Buxton on the injured list Sunday as manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters that an MRI revealed 'a good outcome' and declared that Buxton would 'hopefully be back very soon.' But they announced his placement on the injured list prior to Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] The news is a blow to Minnesota's long-shot hopes of making it to the postseason. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Twins (51-55) were five games behind the Red Sox (57-51) in the race for the final wild-card berth in the American League with five teams (Rangers, Rays, Guardians, Royals, Angels) between them in the standings. Buxton's injury further muddies Minnesota's status as buyers or sellers ahead of Thursday's MLB trade deadline as they remain within striking distance of the postseason but will play without their best offensive player for the foreseeable future. Buxton, 31, is one of two Twins to make the All-Star Game this summer alongside pitcher Joe Ryan. He's slashing .282/.343/.561 with 23 home runs, 59 RBI and 17 stolen bases in 17 attempts. His home run tally is already the second-highest of his career (28 in 2022) and earned him a spot in the MLB Home Run Derby during the All-Star break. Buxton left Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals with what the Twins called 'left side soreness.' He was initially listed as day-to-day before Sunday's MRI prompted Baldelli's optimistic assessment of his injury. It's not clear what changed between Sunday and Tuesday to prompt the Twins to place Buxton on the injured list.

Yankees hold moment of silence before first pitch against Rays in honor of fallen NYPD officer
The New York Yankees held a moment of silence in honor of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam before the first pitch of Tuesday's matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. "Before tonight's game, we held a moment of silence in memoriam of NYPD Police Officer Didarul Islam, who was tragically killed in the midtown shooting yesterday," the Yankees wrote on X. An office building was the site of a mass shooting that left five dead, including Didarul, when a gunman unleashed fire inside before taking his own life. The high-rise office tower is located on 52nd Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan, a borough that neighbors the Bronx, the home of Yankee Stadium. "The entire Yankees organization sends its condolences to his family as well as to the families of the other victims of this senseless act of violence," the Yankees statement concluded. The Yankees trailed the Rays 3-0 in the third inning Tuesday night. Flags at government buildings across the city were placed at half-staff Tuesday in honor of Islam, New York City Mayor Eric Adams confirmed. The building where the shooting took place houses the NFL's headquarters. In a memo obtained by Fox News Digital, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed at least one NFL employee was "seriously injured" but was listed in stable condition. Goodell also thanked Islam for his sacrifice. "We are deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded to this threat quickly and decisively and to Officer Islam, who gave his life to protect others," the memo said. The 36-year-old had been on the force four years before he was gunned down Monday evening. He was a married father to two young boys, and his wife is pregnant with their third child, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. Islam was assigned to the NYPD's 47th Precinct in the Bronx. He was one of two uniformed officers in the Park Avenue building when the shooting occurred. The NYPD said Islam "represented the very best of our department." "He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today," the NYPD added. "We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy."
