Yankees consider Lane Thomas trade from Royals for outfield support

The New York Yankees aim to strengthen their outfield as injuries mount. With Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger on the injured list, the Yankees are looking at Kansas City Royals center fielder Lane Thomas as a potential trade target. Thomas has a.727 OPS overall this season, but has performed well against left-handed pitching with an.799 OPS. The proposed deal involves sending Yankees’ prospects Jace Avina and Eric Reyzelman to the Royals. Discussions indicate that even with his struggles, Thomas could provide valuable depth for the Yankees, especially as a right-handed option when their main outfielders return.
