The Yankees are exploring potential trade options to add an outfielder following Cody Bellinger's injury, which has increased their offensive needs. Jo Adell of the Angels is reportedly available, and he has excelled against left-handed pitching this season with a.924 OPS. The Yankees' current outfield lineup lacks depth with both Bellinger and Aaron Judge sidelined, complicating their ability to compete. Adell, at 27, offers an additional year of team control, which may elevate his trade value. The Angels are likely to seek a significant return for Adell, given the demand for players who perform well against left-handers.
