Yankees Predicted to Have Worst Trade Deadline of Any Team
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
The New York Yankees are in the midst of a brutal month.
New York entered the month with a three-game lead in the American League East, and, entering Tuesday, it sits four games out of first place.
The Yankees have several needs to address at this year's trade deadline, but not everyone thinks the deadline will be a success for the front office.
TAMPA, FLORIDA - MARCH 14: Brian Cashman, general manager and senior vice president of the New York Yankees, before a spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies at George M. Steinbrenner Field on March 14,...
TAMPA, FLORIDA - MARCH 14: Brian Cashman, general manager and senior vice president of the New York Yankees, before a spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies at George M. Steinbrenner Field on March 14, 2025 in Tampa, Florida. MoreBleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer has predicted that New York will be the biggest losers when the trade deadline is complete.
"The Yankees aren't flush with expendable talent at the major league level, and their farm system is one of the five worst in the league," Rymer wrote. "Spencer Jones has surely upped his value with his recent heater, but he remains a borderline top 100 type on account of his huge strikeout rate (i.e., 31.7 percent) at Triple-A."
Rymer is correct about New York having a terrible farm system, as the previously mentioned Jones is the only top 10 prospect who is currently in Triple-A and one of just six top 30 prospects in Triple-A.
Rymer also notes that the Yankees are aggressively going after Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez and how much of a loss it would be if they were to miss out on the slugger.
"If the Mariners do end up as the winners of the Suárez sweepstakes, well, that would just plain be bad news for the New York Yankees," Rymer wrote.
Yankees, Mariners and Cubs are among teams to inquire on Eugenio Suarez, whose 36 HR leads the NL (and is tied with Judge, 2 behind Raleigh) — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) July 22, 2025
A swing and miss on Suarez would most likely send New York scrambling for Plan B, which could be any one of Ryan McMahon, Ke'Bryan Hayes, or Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
Rymer noted that the Yankees are setting themselves up for failure and many folks will be disappointed when August rolls around.
"All this feels like a setup for a situation where the Yankees overpromise (at least implicitly, if not explicitly) and then underdeliver. Such an outcome probably wouldn't ease tensions amid the club's ongoing slide down the standings."
General manager Brian Cashman has a lot to deliver on this deadline, and if he is not able to, fans may begin to question his ability to lead New York in the future.

Nets ranked as worst team in Eastern Conference by NBA.com
The Brooklyn Nets were one of the more active teams in the NBA this offseason as they are looking to tweak their roster while planning for the future. Brooklyn is still in the early stages of its rebuild so the team isn't necessarily looking to make it to the playoffs next season, but the view of the team from pundits suggests that next season could be a tough one. John Schuhmann recently published his power rankings for every team in the Eastern Conference and in his list, he had the Nets ranked as the worst team in the conference following their offseason moves. The most notable moves that Brooklyn made was selecting five players in the 2025 NBA Draft and trading Cam Johnson to the Denver Nuggets for forward Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick. One of the more interesting parts about the Nets' performance during the 2024-25 season is that they finished with a 26-56 record despite beginning the campaign with a 9-10 record, putting them on pace to finish slightly below 40 wins on the season. Given that Brooklyn was hoping to get a high draft pick in the 2025 Draft, they eventually traded Dennis Schroder to the Golden State Warriors to start what would eventually be a harder push to the rebuild. Whether or not the Nets are hoping to improve on their record from the 2024-25 campaign, they are still hoping to improve on both sides of the floor, especially when it comes to efficiency on the offensive end. "They took 24% of their shots, the league's highest rate, in the last six seconds of the shot clock, according to Second Spectrum tracking. Their effective field goal percentage of 44.2% in the last six seconds ranked 25th," Schuhmann noted. As it stands, the Nets will be heading into next season with Nic Claxton at center, Porter at one of the forward spots, Egor Demin at point guard, and presumably Cam Thomas at the shooting guard spot. Brooklyn will be hoping that their rookies and young players make strides over the course of what could be another rough season from a wins and losses perspective. "Over the last 20 years, the 2014-15 Sixers had the highest percentage of their minutes (37%) that went to rookies, and only one of their nine rookies was a first-round pick. The Nets could certainly challenge that mark and maximize their odds for a higher selection than they got this year," Schuhmann wrote.

Greg Cote's Hot Button Top 10: Amazin' Marlins, Messi hurt, sex toys on court & more
GREG COTE'S HOT BUTTON TOP 10 (AUGUST 3): WHAT IN SPORTS HAS GRABBED US THIS WEEK: Sizzlin' Fish, Messi's injury, Heat's rough week, Dolphins and Canes seasons near ... and Trump champions fitness!? No, seriously. Welcome to the 112th edition of HB10, back after a week off to bring you what's on our minds from a Miami lens and accentuating stuff that's big, weird, damnable, funny or worth needling as the sports week past pivots to the week ahead: 1. MARLINS: Smokin'-hot Fish go for sweep of Yankees, .500 today: Marlins atop the HB10? A first. But earned. Miami is 54-55, with four straight wins and 24-10 since June 22, after a wild 13-12 home comeback over the Yankees and then Saturday's 2-0 on Eury Perez's gem. Fish go for the sweep of NYY and can reach .500 today. As important, the Fish won this year's trade deadline with restraint. A year ago Miami led the majors in deadline deals as Peter Bendix went crazy in a prospects get. This time only two trades: OF Jesús Sánchez to Houston for starter Ryan Gusto and two prospects, and C Nick Fortes to Tampa Bay for outfielder Matthew Etzel. Gusto is a nice add, but the best deals were the ones not done: Keeping starters Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera despite a market for both. The statement: Marlins are all-in in chase for wild card playoff spot. 2. INTER MIAMI: Despite win, Messi injury clouds hopes of Leagues Cup advance: Inter Miami added midfielder Rodrigo de Paul as a de factor bodyguard for Lionel Messi, but that did not prevent Messi from incurring a thigh injury Saturday and leaving early in a win on penalty kicks over Nexaca in a Leagues Cup match in Fort Lauderdale. The injury is not believed serious but could jeopardize Messi 's availability Wednesday at home vs. Pumas in another Leagues Cup game. Miami is 2-0 in the MLS vs. Mexico tournament but even at 3-0 may be at risk of not advancing due to goal-differential. 3. HEAT: Bad week redefined: Theft scandal, Rozier still on roster: Miami reportedly declined a trade to get Marcus Smart from Washington in exchange for Terry Rozier. Extremely upset were Heat fans, many of whom would gladly trade Rozier for a used pair of Keds. Also this past week: The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office began an investigation of merchandise theft of items including game-worn jerseys stolen from the Heat's uniform equipment room. The scandal was first reported by Amin Elhassan on the Dan LeBatard Show. (Apparently Amin found out before Pablo Torre did.) 4. HURRICANES: Practice on, UM second in ACC poll as mega-opener nears: A healthy QB Carson Beck led the way as the Canes under fourth-year coach Mario Cristobal opened practice for the high-hopes season kicking off at home vs. Notre Dame August 31. The annual ACC media poll found Clemson picked as the favorite to repeat atop the conference, with Miami edging SMU for second and Georgia Tech and Louisville rounding out the top five. SMU and L'ville are on UM's schedule. 5. DOLPHINS: It's opening week for Miami preseason: Dolphins first of three exhibition games is next Sunday at Chicago, followed by a trip to Detroit then a home date with Jacksonville prior to the regular season opener September 7 at Indianapolis -- a near pick-'em game with Colts a (very) early 1-point favorite. Fins theme this preseason based on the depth chart: Anybody wanna play cornerback? Show of hands, please? 6. MLB: Speedway Classic will set record today (but not really): Baseball's exhilarating trade-deadline moves left adjusted World Series odds favoring three NL teams with Dodgers at 14-5, Phillies at 17-2 and Mets at 19-2. MLB has spotlight again with Braves-Reds in the Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn. today in the first MLB game at a NASCAR track (after Saturday's rain postponement). With mofre than 85,000 tickets sold, it'll break the regular-season mark of 84,587 set at a Yankees game in Cleveland in 1954. But the most to ever watch any MLB game will remain 115,300 for a spring training game between the Dodgers and Red Sox at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 2008. 7. POLITICS: Trump finds odd way to revive physical fitness: Donald Trump is bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test for children, a fixture in public schools for decades. Make your own jokes about Trump as the face of fitness. I'd rather note the oddity of a president under a Jeffrey Epstein cloud having Lawrence Taylor among guests at the White House announcement. Taylor's past, of course, includes cocaine, tax evasion and a guilty plea to the statutory rape of a 16-year-old. Are Trump's advisers all on vacation? Turns out the President's Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition includes Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa, whose surname Trump mispronounced as 'Tag-o-valley-a.' 8. NFL: Shannon Sharpe mess clouds Hall of Fame weekend: Chargers beat Lions 34-7 Thursday in earliest NFL preseason opener in 25 years to kick off what should-a been a feelgood weekend in Canton. But Shannon Sharpe's firing by ESPN following his paying big to settle a sexual-assault lawsuit hung over everything like a thundering cloud as his brother Sterling was one of four men inducted along with Eric Allen, Jared Allen and Antonio Gates. PS, a weak class, too. Gates merited Canton; the other three were dubious picks at best. (Better next year, as Class of '26 first-time eligibles include Drew Brees and Larry Fitzgerald.) 9. WNBA: Dumb Fans Alert! Arrest over sex-toy launch: A spectator who ought to be publicly named and shamed was arrested for throwing a sex toy onto thr court during a Golden State game in Atlanta. Since then, another sex toy was thrown onto the court during Golden State's game in Chicago. Said Sky center Elizabeth Williams: 'It's super disrespectful. I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.' 10. NASCAR: As Wallace ends drought, a nod to Wendell Scott: Bubba Wallace's third career win in the NASCAR Cup Series ended a 100-race winless drought for the second Black driver to win a race in the sport's main series. It invites a nod of respect for Wendell Scott, please? Scott in 1963 in Jacksonville became the first Black driver to win on NASCAR's main stage, despite racism at the time that saw him receive death threats, be poisoned once and often wrecked intentionally. He never received the trophy for the one race he won, his family finally was given it in 2021 -- 31 years after his death. THE LIST: MIAMI TEAMS' MOUNT RUSHMORES: The top-four career leaders for the Dolphins, Panthers, Heat and Marlins based on WAR (wins over replacement) or that sport's equivalent, combining players' longevity and accomplishent with club: Dolphins--Dan Marino 216, Jason Taylor 146, Zach Thomas 141, Bob Griese 138. Panthers--Roberto Luongo, 124, Aleksander Barkov 86, Aaron Ekblad 70, Jonathan Huberdeau 65. Heat--Dwyane Wade 116.1, LeBron James 65.3, Alonzo Mourning, 64.9, Bam Adebayo 57.6 Marlins--Giancarlo Stanton 35.8, Hanley Ramirez, 26.9, Josh Johnson 25.7, Luis Castillo 22.5 Other select most recent stuff from me: This one goal for Dolphins and another for Hurricanes will define success or failure in 2025 // Previous HB10 // Poll Dance: Dolphins or Canes win more games? // Why Miami staunchly remains a Football Town even as Dolphins and Canes disappoint // Strobe lights?
