Yankees consider José Soriano as trade target before deadline
Summary

The New York Yankees are evaluating potential trade options, including José Soriano of the Los Angeles Angels. As of August 1, 2026, Soriano is enjoying a breakout season with a 3.29 ERA across 22 starts. His impressive performance has made him a coveted player leading up to the trade deadline. Despite the Angels’ struggles this season and likely selling at the deadline, owner Arte Moreno may hesitate to trade key players with club control. The Yankees’ rotation depth may affect their pursuit of Soriano, but he remains an intriguing option if the price is right.
