Yankees eye Josh Hader as potential trade with Astros looms

The New York Yankees are exploring trade options ahead of the MLB deadline, with left-handed reliever Josh Hader identified as a top target. Although the Yankees are performing well in the American League, the Houston Astros have experienced struggles this season. There's uncertainty over potential trades between the two teams, as the Astros currently sit just four games out in their division, complicating any decisions to trade key players like Hader. He recently returned from injury, showcasing his elite skills with no hits or runs allowed in his five appearances.
