The New York Yankees need to add a third baseman to their roster, and they could find the perfect guy on the trade market.
As the Yankees are expected to be buyers, one team potentially looking to sell at the deadline would make an excellent trade partner for New York. Multiple MLB insiders, including ESPN's Jeff Passan, MLB Network's Jon Morosi and MLB.com's Bryan Hoch have linked the Yankees with a potential swoop for a pair of Arizona Diamondbacks standouts.
Suárez, 33, leads all third basemen this season with 29 home runs and an OPS of .883. It's a heck of a walk-year for the now-two-time All-Star, and it could secure him a trade to a contender if Arizona waves the white flag.
The New York Yankees are one of many teams looking to make an upgrade at third base, and the Pittsburgh Pirates could have the perfect fit.
A New York Yankees trade idea sees a 3.92 ERA starter land in New York to help the Yankees' rotation amid injuries.
Rafael Flores is not only the most underrated prospect in the Yankees' system, but he's one of the most underrated prospects in the game. He's only the No. 15-ranked prospect in New York's system per MLB Pipeline, but I think he's far more exciting and can fetch the Yankees an exciting return if they're willing to deal him.
If the Yankees wanted a cheaper option and didn't want to invest future money into someone, Suarez should be the target. Recently, general manager Brian Cashman shared his plans for the trade deadline, and it looked like he was looking to acquire a starting pitcher.
The New York Yankees bullpen needs some reinforcements. With Mark Leiter Jr. on the injured list, the Yankees could target a dominant replacement at the trade deadline.
