The New York Yankees are approaching July's trade deadline as one of MLB's best teams. They have an offense led by Aaron Judge, a heavy American League MVP favorite who could just win the Triple Crown.

BOSTON — So much for Jake Cousins providing the Yankees with a bullpen boost this summer. Now, Cousins is suddenly in danger of missing the rest of this season and possibly all of next year as well.

The Yankees are World Series contenders again, but they'll need to upgrade their roster at the deadline. Here are three storylines to watch.

The New York Yankees lost Gerrit Cole before the season began, but could replace him in a deal with the Atlanta Braves as the trade deadline approaches.

BOSTON — With Giancarlo Stanton not expected at Fenway Park this weekend, Aaron Boone said the Yankees are targeting their upcoming series against the Angels for the slugger’s 2025 debut. “I expect him, in some way, shape or form, in the Angels series, to be in play,” Boone said Saturday.

The Philadelphia Phillies got bad news on potential trade target Luis Robert Jr., as the New York Yankees are expected to be interested in the Chicago White Sox outfielder.

Would Cousins’ return from the injured list later this month and a promotion for a Triple-A reliever like Clayton Beeter be enough to provide Boone with more back-end depth, making sure the Yankees’ best relievers stay fresh for the long haul? That would be ideal, but it’s also contingent on everybody else in the big-league bullpen staying healthy.

A trade proposal has the New York Yankees acquiring left-handed ace Chris Sale in a blockbuster deal with the Atlanta Braves.

BOSTON — There are no givens about the trade deadline, but the closest thing to it is that the Yankees will be acquiring at least one reliever by 6:01 p.m. on July 31. That much is just about ...

FanSided's MLB insider, Robert Murray, recently suggested the Milwaukee Brewers could use their ace, Freddy Peralta, as a trade chip this season. Murray didn't specifically link Peralta to any team, but the Yankees could emerge as a perfect suitor.

Writing for the Athletic, former MLB general manager Jim Bowden identified second and third base as the team's priorities ahead of the trade deadline, and believes Arraez would make a positive impact at the plate and as an infielder.
