A trade between the New York Yankees and Oakland Athletics could be a potential possibility as the July 31 trade deadline nears.
Citing sources, Fox Sports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports that a top scout of the Athletics was recently watching players on the Charleston RiverDogs, the Yankees' Single-A affiliate.
Rosenthal notes that A's first baseman Yonder Alonso and right-hander Sonny Gray would fit the Yankees well.
New York is one of many contenders rumored to be interested in Gray, and the team's need for starting pitching is likely greater now that Michael Pineda is set to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery on Tuesday.
