Yankees, Mets interested in Rays OF Manuel Margot

Both the Yankees and Mets are interested in Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Manuel Margot, per multiple sources. Joel Sherman of the Post added that both New York teams are among five interested in him.

Margot has spent the last four years with the Rays and hit a mild .264 with just four home runs and a 93 wRC+. He appeared in 99 games last season while dealing with elbow injuries, and has largely been a platoon outfielder for the last two years.

The Yankees, meanwhile, need two outfielders to slot alongside Aaron Judge while Jasson Dominguez recovers from Tommy John surgery.
