The New York Yankees are actively seeking to strengthen their starting rotation ahead of the MLB trade deadline, focusing on acquiring a right-handed bat, preferably a third baseman, following Oswaldo Cabrera’s season-ending injury. Despite leading the majors in wRC+ against both pitching types, the Yankees have struggled at third base, with Oswald Peraza underperforming and DJ LeMahieu as a possible alternative. Additionally, with ace Gerrit Cole out for the season and other starters on the IL, the Yankees need to bolster their pitching staff, currently relying on rookies and veterans in the rotation.
