Yankees prepare for trade deadline amid injury concerns

The New York Yankees are positioning themselves as buyers ahead of the MLB trade deadline, expected within the next few days. Cody Bellinger is ruled out for 4-6 weeks due to a hamstring strain, further depleting the Yankees’ outfield. The team is also dealing with the absence of Aaron Judge, intensifying the need for additional hitting support. Potential trade targets include relievers from the San Diego Padres and players like Zack Neto and Reid Detmers from the Angels. The Yankees celebrated their upcoming Old-Timers’ Day on August 8, featuring several notable alumni.
