Trade Deadline Outlook: New York Yankees

By Darragh McDonald | July 10, 2025 at 11:59pm CDT

MLBTR's team-by-team look at the upcoming deadline continues with the Yankees. The Bronx Bombers are always trying to win the World Series and this year will certainly be no exception. The American League East is tight, as is the Wild Card race, but the Yanks are obviously going to do everything they can to strengthen the roster for the playoff push.

Record: 51-41 (89.8% playoff probability, per FanGraphs)

Buy Mode

Potential needs: Starting pitcher, third baseman, relievers

Before the 2025 season even began, the Yankee rotation got blown up. Luis Gil was diagnosed with a lat strain in early March, meaning he was destined to miss a decent chunk of the first half, at least. A few days later, even more ominous news came out, with Gerrit Cole getting some tests done on his elbow. The worst-case scenario eventually came to pass, as he underwent Tommy John surgery.

Cole is going to miss the entire season. Gil could be back in the mix at some point but is still on the injured list and hasn't begun a rehab assignment. Despite those two major challenges, the remaining starters have held the club above water. The rotation has a collective 3.69 earned run average this year, good for eighth in the majors. Lefties Max Fried and Carlos Rodón are each earning their salaries this year. Guys like Clarke Schmidt, Will Warren and Ryan Yarbrough have done good work supporting Fried and Rodón. Marcus Stroman just returned from the IL, but Yarbrough and Schmidt both landed on the shelf recently. In Schmidt's case, he will undergo Tommy John surgery and won't be back this year.

Looking ahead to the club's playoff rotation, Fried is a lock. Rodón would be as well, though his injury track record is well known at this point. Warren tossed around 130 innings in each of the past three years and is up to 90 so far this season. Will there be any questions about his playoff effectiveness as he pushes into the 150-175 range? Stroman wasn't trusted in the club's playoff push last year and they tried to trade him in the winter. Presumably, he hasn't increased his standing in 2025, since he's spent most of the year injured. Cam Schlittler is getting a chance in the majors now but won't have much time to prove himself prior to the deadline. Adding a starter is therefore a priority and general manager Brian Cashman has confirmed as much.

      Yankees totally should. Too bad Giants won’t trade Schmidt so you might as well give up on that dream and hope the Yankees target a more realistic option. Eugino Suarez seems more likely a target and is a free agent at seasons end. Suarez has already posted close to 3 WAR before the all star break and hitting OPS+ of 141.

      Far as to what to give up for Suarez. Chase Hampton, Rafael Flores, and Jesus Rodriguez.

      1. Casey Schmidtt is the Giants starting second baseman

      2. Giants are competing for a wild card at 51-43 and have no reason to trade Schmidt who’s hitting
      .271/.361/.430 128 OPS+ and is under control for 4 or 5 more years

          Didi had a bad first year with us, replacing Jeter was a tall order. However, Volpe has a career OPS+ of 85. Didi never finished a season with less than an 87 OPS+. You will never see Volpe have a year at the plate like 2018 Didi. Volpe is not better than Didi, you can forget about that.

          Volpe should never be mentioned in the same article as Didi Gregorious. Volpe is much closer to Wayne Tolleson or Ramiro Pena. We could’ve traded him for a good load a few years ago, when the rest of baseball believed the hype around him. Now, nobody would even WANT him, let alone trade anything of value for him. What a relief we passed on Corey Seager for this dude!

        I’m not as bullish on Jasson as you are, but throw in Bednar and Hayes in addition to Keller and I’d consider it. Don’t forget that Spencer Jones is tearing up AAA to a point where he’s forcing the issue. Hayes is an elite 3B hitting north of the Mendoza line. Bednar is one of the best relievers in the game. Keller has a strong FIP (3.39). Stro looks awful and Schllittler is going to have growing pains while he sorts his secondary pitches out. I just hope that they don’t trade Ben Rice. I have that sinking feeling they will.

          Keller is an improvement over stroman but not as much as you say. Kellers best year he had an era 3.90. Around 4.25 last two years. That’s average. And he always seems to get worse as the year goes on.
          So while he’s an upgrade over stroman would he make their rotation in the playoffs? Probably not. So no way yanks are giving up Domínguez for someone like that.

        Keller over Stroman would be more than a significant improvement. Jasson is only 5’9″. He stopped growing after the Yankees signed him. That’s the downside of signing 16yo’s. He lacks power and has had a lot of GB hits. Three of his HRs came in one game at a PCL band box. Yes he’s 22, but his stature limits his ceiling. Moreover, when the Yankees call up Jones, Jasson will become expendable. Moreso, if the Yankees decide to extend Bellinger or sign a top FA like Tucker. Imagining an OF of Jones, Judge, and Tucker makes me drool.

          The 2026 Yankees, behind Cole, Fried and Rodon, and probably Gil.

          Part of the appeal of Keller is the team control, and the Yankees really only need a 2025 rental so it means nothing to them.

      I fail to see the all the love Arenado gets. He’s been a below average hitter with a big contract for 2 years. The Cards wanted too much for him last offseason and now they’re stuck with him. As for Matz he’s 34 with a history of arm troubles. I wouldn’t give up Arias for him.

    Cashman, just don’t do something that puts the Yankees back on the same rodent wheel they’ve been on—trade longer term assets for expensive older shorter term ones.

      What are you talking about? Name me 1 home grown player on the Dodgers other than Will Smith? They amassed their talent with $1 billion dollar in mostly deferred money. And the Red Sox have only made the playoffs one in the last 7 seasons so their far from a blueprint in how to do things. The Yankees haven’t won anything but they’ve at lest made the playoffs consistently and they’ve dune a great job of graduating kids like Gil, Schmidt, Dominguez, Volpe, Wells, Rice, Cortez and Warren. They’ve just been decimated by injuries. Keep in mind that 4/6 of our starting rotation have been injured most of this years.

    Yankees problem doesn’t change much year-to-year: They crush mediocre teams/and/or mediocre pitching, and are oftentimes completely shut out by good pitchers. Thus, their regular season numbers are always good, but their postseason play is not enough to overcome top-tier pitching.

    Their plate approach should mirror Bellinger’s. He’s an awesome all-around player.

    Yankees need a 3B, everyone has Suarez being the most likely the Yankee choice. They are going to have competition from the Cubs and Mariners. Question is are the Yankees willing to overpay the D’Backs for him. Heard the Mariners who have made numerous trades with the D’Backs before really want Suarez back. Would the Yankees look to Colorado for a deal for McMahon instead. Might get him at a cheaper trade price instead of overpaying for Suarez.
