It’s no secret that the New York Yankees are looking for outfield help on this year’s trade market. With the Aug. 1 deadline approaching, an interesting rumor has surfaced.
Per Yankees beat veteran Mark Feinsand, the Bronx Bombers are interested in Dylan Carlson of the St. Louis Cardinals. The switch-hitting Carlson is still just 24 and batting .241 with five home runs and a .725 OPS in 2023. He can also play all three outfield positions and his arm strength is in the 86th percentile.
The Cardinals also seem motivated to make a deal. As Feinsand reports, Carlson is about to lose his spot in the lineup to the injury-prone Tyler O’Neill.
