Yankees Trade Rumors July 26

The Yankees, who are looking for pitching have certainly lost their swagger when they lost out to pitchers Cliff Lee and Dan Haren. It may be desperation time for the Bombers to get a starting pitcher before the trade deadline. The Yankees are without Pettitte, who is on the DL. But there are other problems brewing in the Bronx. The Yankees have a couple of question marks in both starting pitching and middle relief and will need to add someone soon.

On the offense side of things, the Yankees need a bat off the bench, but the Yanks are not going to give away the farm to fill this need.

SI’s Jon Heyman: Yankees rumors.

  • The Yankees “made a big proposal” for Soria. With three club options, the 26-year-old righty is under team control through 2014.  Had Soria not signed a team-friendly extension in May of 2008, he’d be eligible for free agency after the 2012 season.  The only blemish on his record was missing most of May last year with a sore shoulder.  How do the Yankees and Royals match up?  You’d expect Dayton Moore to pursue Montero or Austin Romine, though the Royals already have Billy Butler and Wil Myers in the organization.
  • Heyman notes that the Yankees “have been in touch” with the Nationals about Adam Dunn, but “so far found the price prohibitive.”  With six days until the trade deadline, will Mike Rizzo drop the price on Dunn?  Heyman also links the Yankees to familiar names Ty Wigginton, Jhonny Peralta, and Cody Ross.

There’s less than a week remaining before the trade deadline and the Yankees need to start moving fast. Roy Oswalt could be a target for the Yankees. The Boston Globe is reporting that the Yankees may be too “big time” for Oswalt and that he would say no to any trade that could move him there.

Too big? I guess the big apple would make him to nervous, but forty thousand fans do not. This makes no sense!
