In this look into Yankees trade rumors, the New York Yankees could look at Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jorge De La Rosa as a potential trade fit for the team before the July 31st trade deadline.
According to Chris Mitchell of Pinstripe Alley, "unlike some of the bigger names out there, the Yankees probably wouldn't have to give up very much for De La Rosa's services. Ricky Nolasco was a similar pitcher -- in a similar contract situation -- who was traded around this time last year, and he only cost the Dodgers three warm bodies."
The Yankees would likely have to eat the remainder of his $11 million salary - but if it means not losing a ton of talent in the process, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman might be willing to sign off on such a transaction.
De La Rosa has struggled a bit this year, with his ERA rising from 3.49 last year to 4.56 this season. However, some of De La Rosa's troubles to bad luck and the thin air at Coors Field, meaning that a chance in scenery could be just what he needs to get back into a groove.
