The New York Yankees started well this season but have been in a rough patch of late, having lost six of their last 10 games. The team was this season's juggernaut, leading the league in both runs scored and allowed. However, things changed, and their offense took most of the blame.
Except for Aaron Judge, Juan Soto and maybe Ben Rice to an extent, most hitters haven't performed well since the start. The bullpen is also another issue and with starting ace Luis Gil going for rough outings in June, the team needs to use this deadline to the fullest.
3 major tradeline deals for the New York Yankees
3) Luis Rengifo, Los Angeles Angels
Trending
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo is slashing .315/.358/.442, along with stealing 22 bases this season. This has propelled Rengifo into the trade conversation, with the Yankees emerging as a potential landing spot.
Even the New York Post has deemed Rengifo as the "Perfect Yankee Fit.' The Angels will most likely either trade him or extend him since he's going to be a free agent in 2025.
2) Brent Rooker, Oakland Athletics
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker has emerged as a legitimate trade chip in the MLB Trade 2024. After a breakout season in 2023 when he hit 30 home runs and 69 RBIs, Rooker's 2024 campaign has been even more impressive. He is currently hitting .291 with 21 homers and is on the path to beating his previous records.
This power surge has garnered significant interest from contending teams, including the Philadelphia Phillies and the Yankees.
Analyst Chris Kirschner suggests Rooker could replace Alex Verdugo in left field. Rooker isn't going to be a free agent until 2028.
1) Tanner Scott, Miami Marlins
According to the Miami Herald, Marlins closer Tanner Scott has emerged as a top target for the Yankees. Scott, a first-time All-Star this season, boasts a 1.34 ERA and 10 strikeouts per nine innings.
Scott is ranked 16th in strikeouts per nine innings. The trade could improve the Yankees' pitching, which has been in dire straits in recent games. Also, Scott is set to become a free agent in 2025, so negotiations should proceed smoothly for the Bronx Brothers.
