Yankees eye Padres relievers as trade deadline approaches
Summary

An MLB expert suggests the New York Yankees pursue relievers Adrian Morejon and Jeremiah Estrada from the San Diego Padres. As the Yankees aim to strengthen their bullpen ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, both relievers could be more affordable than All-Star Mason Miller. The Yankees currently hold the second-best record in the American League, trailing the Tampa Bay Rays. The Padres, likely to become sellers soon, have depth in their bullpen but are struggling in other areas.
