FanGraphs projects the Yankees to have a payroll of $187 million in 2026, and MLBTradeRumors opined that arbitration raises for Anthony Volpe, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Fernando Cruz may cause that to be an underestimate.

The Yankees are rumored to make waves at the MLB trade deadline. Discover the latest rumors surrounding potential trades.

Regarding Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton, Heyman reported that there's "no chance" that he gets moved before the trade deadline. Buxton declared to Heyman, "I'm a Twin for life," so it doesn't appear likely that he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause anytime soon.

It's always nice to have options. No one knows that better than New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman as he shops for a power-hitting third baseman ahe

ATLANTA — Eugenio Suárez said he is “happy” in Arizona and is doing his best to help a club that entered the All-Star break floundering but fighting: three games under .500, 11 games removed from the NL West lead and 5.5 games out of a wild-card spot.

The New York Yankees head into the second half of their 2025 with clear needs to add a new third baseman and a new starting pitcher to the roster. Fortunately for GM Brian Cashman and his staff, they only need to deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks if they want to address both needs with one transaction.

It's looking more and more like the Arizona Diamondbacks are going to be sellers at the MLB Trade Deadline on July 31. Their starting third baseman, Eugenio Suarez, is one of their biggest chips they have to sell this season.

Next on the list of non-productive third basemen is another possible Yankees target, Luis Rengifo of the Angels, as The Post’s Jon Heyman has reported. He was more productive each of the previous three seasons but has struggled badly this season.
