Rival executives believe that the New York Yankees are open to trading outfield slugger Spencer Jones ahead of the MLB trade deadline.

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are both reportedly pursuing a trade for the same All-Star utilityman from the St. Louis Cardinals.

Jones has been on fire since his Triple-A promotion. He has 13 home runs in 19 games, a .308 batting average and 1.079 OPS in combined high-A and Triple-A action this season, including a three-homer game last week. That’s putting new power on display just as the trade deadline looms in July.

The Yankees made their first trade deadline move on Friday, acquiring a third baseman for two minor-league pitchers.

The New York Yankees need a third baseman and have until Thursday to make a trade. Could the Kansas City Royals provide them with an All-Star?

One MLB insider recently suggested a trade that could grant the New York Yankees an All-Star third baseman ahead of next week's deadline.

Pirates outfielder Oneil Cruz is among those that the Yankees have checked in on, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Heyman reports that the Yankees have talked to the Pirates about the slugger, but the price is said to be “steep.”

The New York Yankees are finalizing a deal to acquire third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for minor league pitchers Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz, sources tell ESPN.
