The New York Yankees will be busy during these last few days before the trade deadline at 4 pm, this coming Monday. Specifically Brian Cashman the Yankee general manager is working with not a lot of information, trying to fill some of the gaps in the Yankee team. The Yankees have a pitching problem with only ace Gerrit Cole performing as expected. The Yankees are missing key pitchers, Luis Severino who had Tommy John surgery, and last year’s best pitcher Domingo German who is serving out the remainder of his suspension.
Second, in the rotation, James Paxton, recently went on the IL with forearm flexor problem and won’t return to the rotation until a week or two before the end of the season.
