The New York Yankees were reportedly looking to the possibility to trading relief pitcher Dellin Betances in an effort to land a starting pitcher, but general manager Brian Cashman told SiriusXM Radio that the team will absolutely not trade him.

Cashman said that the Yankees are still looking to make another trade after acquiring Todd Frazier, David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the Chicago White Sox, and they are looking to upgrade their rotation.
New York is one of the teams at the forefront of Sonny Gray talks with the Oakland A's and could turn their attention to the Texas Rangers if they make Yu Darvish available. They have also had talks with the A's about acquiring first baseman Yonder Alonso.
However, it's clear that Betances won't be included in any deal the Yankees may make. The 29-year-old has a 2.87 ERA with six saves and 59 strikeouts in 31.1 innings pitches in 35 appearances this season.
