Rumors swirl after one baseball insider shares his take on what the New York Yankees trade plans might be after Aaron Judge falls to injury.

Ryan McMahon’s circumstances changed in an instant when he was traded by the last-place Rockies to the playoff-contending Yankees.

The last-place Pittsburgh Pirates have several attractive trade chips they can move ahead of the July 31 deadline. That could be good news for New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

Young, former Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and assistant general manager Thad Levine took a trip down memory lane.

Entering Saturday’s game, the Yankees’ 120 wRC+ was the best in baseball. They lead MLB in home runs, walk percentage, isolated power, on-base percentage, slugging percentage and wOBA. This offense is deadly enough to carry them to title No. 28.

Although New York still occupies the top Wild Card slot, the Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers and Tampa Bay Rays are all close behind. If the Yankees do not heed Giancarlo Stanton's words over the next 10 Judge-less games, then they could possibly find themselves at the bottom of that pile.

Aaron Judge has elevated his level of play in 2025 and could be the decisive factor for the Yankees to conquer the World Series. When it comes to power, consistency and leadership

For the first time since 2019, the Yankees will hold a baseball game as part of the annual event on Aug. 9 while honoring the 25th anniversary of the 2000 World Series championship team. The Yankees listed 38 scheduled attendees, including four first-timers: Roger Clemens, David Justice, Alfonso Soriano and Jose Vizcaino.

The team hasn't been the same team since. The Yankees beat Cleveland again in the 2020 wild card series, the 2022 divisional series, and have now denied the city a World Series appearance.

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are both reportedly pursuing a trade for the same All-Star utilityman from the St. Louis Cardinals.
