Yankees Trade Deadline Rumors: One lefty slugger to add versatility to the batting order

Coming off a tough defeat against the Seattle Mariners on Thursday, the New York Yankees are looking to get back on track against the Houston Astros on Friday evening. Having failed to score a run in the final game of a three-game series again Seattle, focusing on adding more offensive prowess could be a priority for general manager Brian Cashman.

Having a heavily right-handed lineup, the Bombers could use a bit more diversity to help them return to form. One option at the trade deadline could be Texas Rangers star Joey Gallo, who is 27 years old and currently has 23 home runs on the season.
