Yankees' Trade Deadline Plan Revealed by MLB Insider

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. If the flaws on the New York Yankees' roster weren't evident heading into this weekend, they're crystal clear now. The Yankees, after losing the first two games of the World Series rematch against the Los Angeles Dodgers, have been embarrassed at Dodger Stadium by the reigning champs.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MAY 13: Manager Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees is thrown out of the game during the ninth inning against the Seattle Marinersat T-Mobile Park on May 13, 2025 in Seattle, Washington. MoreAfter blowing a 5-2 lead in Friday's game — allowing the Dodgers to score six unanswered runs — the Yankees went down in blowout fashion on Saturday, losing 18-2, their largest loss since 2019. Their starting pitching has struggled, their bullpen hasn't looked great and they've continued to get little production from second and third base. Thus, they could be very busy ahead of next month's trade deadline. More news: Yankees 'Aggressively' Targeting 2 Key Positions in Early Season Trade Andy Martino of SNY believes they will be just that, despite potential budget constraints after their offseason spending spree. "It's true that the Yankees' post-Juan Soto spree left them at the limits of their willingness to spend. In fact, it was no sure thing that they would stretch for Paul Goldschmidt until folks in baseball operations made a strong case for doing so. But that was the offseason budget," Martino wrote. "Teams almost always leave payroll in reserve for the trade deadline, and the Yankees are always aggressive when they feel they have the chance to win. I would not expect that to change in a year in which a championship is a reachable goal. More news: Yankees Make Massive Announcement Regarding Injured All-Star The Yankees' No. 1 priority should be adding an infielder — whether it be a second baseman or third baseman. The Yankees are expected to potentially use Jazz Chisholm at third base upon his return, meaning a second baseman would be their target. If Chisholm went back to second, though, they would need a third baseman. Elsewhere, the Yankees will likely look for a starting pitcher, as Max Fried and Carlos Rodon have been forced to carry the rotation after Gerrit Cole underwent Tommy John surgery. Luis Gil will be a major addition sometime during the summer, but another starter not coming back from injury would go a long way to rounding out the New York roster heading into the second half of the season. The Yankees have overachieved after losing Juan Soto, and should feel very confident about their chances to win the weak American League. However, to get that elusive World Series trophy, they'll likely need to be active come next month's deadline.
