Yankees' trade targets include 5 Pittsburgh Pirates players
The New York Yankees have plenty of needs heading toward the MLB trade deadline. The Pittsburgh Pirates happen to have a chance to fill a number of those. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees are keeping a close eye on Pittsburgh for five players. Those five potential helpers: Ke'Bryan Hayes David Bednar Mitch Keller Dennis Santana Isiah Kiner-Falefa Hayes would be the guy to fill the third base need. The Yankees seemingly would prefer Arizona's Eugenio Suarez, or maybe Colorado's Ryan McMahon. But the talented fielder Hayes would still be an upgrade at the hot corner. MORE: Former Yankees, Astros slugger reaches 500 career home runs far from home Bednar and Santana are both hard-throwing righty relievers. Keller is an uber-talented righty starter who could be good in the Bronx for years to come. IKF is a former Yankees utility guy who could fill whatever need there is on a given day. It's unlikely the Yanks get all of these guys, but given all these links, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Pirates and Yankees get at least one deal done.

New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers Interested in Trade for Gold Glover
The New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, and Detroit Tigers are all poised to be buyers at the MLB trade deadline, with each World Series contender having similar needs. That has led the three organizations to inquire about a trade for the same infielder. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that the Tigers, Cubs and Yankees all reached out to the Pittsburgh Pirates to inquire about the availability and acquisition cost for third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes. Related: Hayes, age 28, is regarded as one of the top third basemen available at this year's trade deadline. While he does not have the offensive profile that Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star Eugenio Suárez brings, the 2023 Gold Glove Award winner is a superior defender at the hot corner. Ke'Bryan Hayes stats (): .237/.284/.294, .578 OPS, 2 home runs, 33 RBI in 337 at-bats Offensively, Hayes has nearly as many strikeouts (75) as hits (78) so far this season. He currently ranks 29th in OPS (.578) among third basemen with at least 250 plate appearances in 2025. The right-handed hitter has struggled at the plate for the past two seasons, recording a .236/.284/.293 triple-slash line across his last 665 at-bats. Related: Ke'Bryan Hayes contract (): $7 million salary in 2025-27, $8 million salary in 2028-29, $12 million club option in 2030 What makes Hayes especially intriguing for the Yankees, Cubs, and Tigers is his defensive prowess at third base. He leads his position with 13 Defensive Runs Saved, well above the next-closest player, and ranks in the 97th percentile for Fielding Run Value. Interested clubs are likely hopeful they can help Hayes return to the caliber of hitter he was from 2022-23, when he posted a .257/.312/.398 triple-slash line. Even with modest offensive production, his elite defense helped make Hayes a 4.0 bWAR player each season.

MLB Insider Proposes Blockbuster Trade Idea Solving Three Cubs' Issues
MLB Insider Proposes Blockbuster Trade Idea Solving Three Cubs' Issues originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs had a stellar first half of the MLB season, finishing with a 57-39 record, good for first place in the National League Central and the second-best record in the NL. However, with the incredible first half, the Cubs sit just a game above the Milwaukee Brewers in the division. Advertisement Like many teams, Chicago will be buyers at the 2025 MLB trade deadline. But with the Brewers' strong push before the All-Star break, the Cubs may have to be even more aggressive to put themselves in a position to win their division and make a run in the postseason. The Cubs' primary need is starting pitching. But, after that, the Cubs could use a third baseman and some bullpen help. The two main starting pitching names thrown around are Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Mitch Keller and Miami Marlins' pitcher Sandy Alcantara, as the two teams are obvious sellers at the deadline. Pirates' reliever David Bednar has also been a hot name for top relief pitching. There are expected to be many trades with top targets involved and under-the-radar guys for contending teams to go after. Advertisement On Sunday, the New York Post's MLB Insider Jon Heyman proposed a blockbuster five-player trade that would land the Cubs three players at the three positions of need. Heyman proposed the Pirates trade Keller, Bednar, and third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Cubs for third baseman Matt Shaw and top outfield prospect Owen Caissie in return. At first glance, this trade proposal is loaded with talent. Keller might be the top starting pitching option on the market. Bednar is one of the top closer options available, and Hayes is still a young, developing player with elite defense at third base. However, to get a lot of talent, you must give some too. Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell (11) is interviewed in the dugout before the game against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. Troy Taormina-Imagn ImagesTroy Taormina-Imagn Images Shaw was a former top prospect for the Cubs, but has struggled at the major league level. As for Caissie, the young prospect has had an impressive season in the minor leagues, batting .278 with a .961 OPS. He's hit 19 home runs and driven 42 guys in. Advertisement But, recently, he has caught fire. Caissie hit .316 with a 1.040 OPS in June and has hit .394 with a .1578 OPS in July. The Cubs' top outfield prospect has seven home runs, nine RBI, and six walks in eight games in July. "The Cubs are scouting the Pirates (as are most contenders). Keller will be one of the better starters available and Hayes is a great defender who needs a change of scenery," Heyman wrote (h/t The Sporting News). "The Pirates seek and need young guys who can hit." The trade would deliver a one-stop shop for everything the Cubs need at the deadline, but it would come at the cost of some of their top prospects. However, if the Cubs plan on getting a top-level starter, they might have to plan on shopping a top prospect regardless. Advertisement Another added advantage of this proposal for the Cubs is that none of the players involved are in the rental business. Keller signed a five-year, $77 million contract in 2024 and is under team control through 2028. Bednar has another year of arbitration in 2026, and Hayes is in the fourth year of an eight-year, $70 million contract with a club option in 2030. Who knows if this trade would ever be agreed to, but it would solve all the Cubs' problems and the Pirates would get a couple of young, talented prospects to build their future on.
