The New York Yankees reportedly consider a trade proposal for Cincinnati Reds infielder Elly De La Cruz, who stands at 6-foot-6. The potential deal would send four prospects including George Lombard Jr. and Carlos Lagrange to Cincinnati. While such a trade could enhance the Yankees' infield, sources indicate this move is unlikely given De La Cruz's value and the Reds' position. The Yankees are also exploring other options to bolster their roster ahead of the August 3 trade deadline.
