The Yankees are considering a trade for left-handed reliever Adrian Morejon of the San Diego Padres ahead of the August 3 deadline. Morejon has performed well this season with a 3.25 ERA in 55.1 innings over 48 games. The Padres, currently below.500 and unlikely playoff contenders, may be inclined to trade players like Morejon, who is set to enter free agency this winter. He has solidified his role as a reliable bullpen option after overcoming early career struggles, making him an attractive target for teams looking to bolster their relief corps.
- •Adrian Morejon has a 3.25 ERA and 27.9% strikeout rate in 2026.
- •The Padres may sell players as they sit below.500 in the standings.
- •Morejon has three years of team control remaining after 2026.
