The New York Yankees are evaluating possible trades to address their struggling infield as the MLB trade deadline approaches. Concerns have emerged particularly around third baseman Ryan McMahon, whose performance has dipped significantly. The Yankees may pursue a deal for Luis Arraez of the San Francisco Giants, a three-time batting champion, to bolster their lineup. If acquired, Jazz Chisholm Jr. could shift to third base, although sources indicate he is more comfortable at second. The Yankees await an injury update on Aaron Judge, which could also influence their decision-making.
