Yankees pursue San Francisco Giants' Luis Arraez ahead of trade deadline

The New York Yankees are reportedly among the top candidates to trade for San Francisco Giants infielder Luis Arraez before the MLB trade deadline on August 3, 2026. With Aaron Judge sidelined, the Yankees seek to bolster their lineup. Arraez, a four-time All-Star and batting champion, has hit.326 with 127 hits this season but is expected to command a premium in trade talks. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman emphasized the team's open-mindedness toward making significant moves to improve the roster. While the focus includes bolstering catcher and bullpen positions, the addition of Arraez remains a topic of discussion as trade talks intensify.
