Yankees Player Targets
Yankees absolute dream trade target: Shohei Ohtani
The Yankees made an offer on Ohtani at this trade deadline; even with the Angels turning it down, he should remain a future target.
Yankees potential trade target: Pablo López
Could the Marlins’ Pablo López potentially be available?
Yankees potential trade target: Tyler Mahle
The righty starter may be the more gettable arm from the Reds at the trade deadline.
Yankees absolute dream trade target: Juan Soto
Juan Soto could be available. What would that mean for the AL?
Yankees potential trade target: Luis Castillo
The best player available at the deadline is sure to attract a healthy list of suitors.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Kyle Farmer
The Bombers could fix their shortage at backup shortstop and catcher with one player.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Jesse Winker
Winker is not an ideal fit defensively, but he is the perfect hitter for the Yankees’ lineup.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Adrian Houser
Though not a true number two, Houser’s high groundball rates would play well in Yankee Stadium
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Daniel Vogelbach
The former second-round pick hits righties well, but is probably not a fit for the Yankees.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Tanner Scott
The Baltimore southpaw is the exact type of reliever who the Yankees usually target.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Zac Gallen
The young righty is coming off his worst season as a big leaguer, but his profile fits exactly what the Yankees have been looking for in recent years.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: John Means
It’s unclear if the O’s southpaw is available, but if he is, then the Yankees should inquire.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: J.D. Davis
Could the Mets send their once-promising third baseman to their crosstown rivals?4
Yankees Potential Trade Target: J.P. Crawford
Could Brian Cashman capitalize on Jerry Dipoto’s fondness for the big trade?
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Brock Holt
The former Red Sox utility infielder is no longer the supersub he was with Boston, but might be a worthwhile gamble on a minor league deal.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Adam Ottavino
Some broken relationships are better left unfixed.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Ramón Laureano
The talented outfielder could be a buy-low depth piece from a selling team.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Chris Paddack
The young righty has seen his stock fall in recent year, but maybe Matt Blake can help unlock the potential he flashed as a rookie.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Archie Bradley
His days as a dominant reliever may be coming to an end.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Danny Duffy
The left-hander may not be the most enticing name out there, but he could be a good addition to the pitching staff.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Ian Kennedy
At this point, the only thing driving a reunion with the 37 year old would be sentimentality.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Luis Castillo
The Reds’ ace would command a large return.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Tyler Mahle
The right-hander is young, good, controllable, and has a high-efficiency fastball, making him perfect for New York.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Joey Votto
In what world could the Yankees acquire the slugger from Cincinnati?
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Michael Pineda
Would the Yankees consider a reunion with Big Mike five years after last donned pinstripes?
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Andrew McCutchen
As enjoyable as his first stint in the Bronx may have been, the Yankees do not need another corner outfielder.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Carlos Martínez
Carlos Martínez works only as a minor league free agent with an invite to spring training, and nothing more.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Andrew Chafin
Big Country set career marks in 2021, but were the gains he made sustainable?
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Jeff McNeil
He has the potential to be one of the best hitters in the league, but caused some strife for the Mets
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Johnny Cueto
Would the one-time ace be worth it at this stage of his career? Probably not.
Yankees Potential Free Agent Target: Yusei Kikuchi
The 30-year-old lefty is one of the few remaining impact starting pitchers on the free agent market.
Yankees Potential Trade Target: Dominic Smith
His track record is mixed, but he could potentially serve as a first base option
