Yankees Shockingly Linked To Reunion Trade For Veteran Infielder
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees have desperately needed to add an infielder to their roster for months now. With Gleyber Torres leaving town in free agency, the Bronx Bombers were left with a hole in the lineup, and it's yet to be filled. With Oswaldo Cabrera ending up on the injured list with a gruesome leg injury earlier in the season, the Yankees' infield depth has been tested even further. New York is going to need to make a deal for an infielder, or it's going to struggle down the stretch. Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently suggested the Yankees would look to swing a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates to reunite with infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa this season. PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 5: Jazz Chisholm Jr. #13 of the New York Yankees slides in safely past Isiah Kiner-Falefa #7 of the Pittsburgh Pirates for a stolen base in the second inning during the... PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - APRIL 5: Jazz Chisholm Jr. #13 of the New York Yankees slides in safely past Isiah Kiner-Falefa #7 of the Pittsburgh Pirates for a stolen base in the second inning during the game at PNC Park on April 5, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More"Old friend Isiah Kiner-Falefa is likely to be dealt by Pittsburgh," Heyman wrote. "Could the Yankees, who showed interest last year, make sense to shore up the infield?" On the season, Kiner-Falefa is slashing .282/.328/.352 with a 1.1 WAR. This comes after he posted a .638 OPS and 3.6 WAR last season. The veteran is an excellent defender and would provide the Yankees with a reliable option who's already comfortable in the clubhouse and in the Bronx. But adding him wouldn't be much of an upgrade. The Yankees need to make an impact move this season if they want to make a run back to the World Series. While there won't be too many star infielders on the market, the Yankees shouldn't add another veteran depth option. They need an impact maker.

Three Players Pirates Should Trade After Managerial Change
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. With the firing of manager Derek Shelton, it has been made clear that the Pittsburgh Pirates organization is in disarray, and with a 12-26 record, the season may very well already be a wash. If that is the case, the Pirates should begin putting out feelers and seeing if teams are interested in making early-season trades. Here are three players Pittsburgh should trade. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 27: Isiah Kiner-Falefa #7 of the Pittsburgh Pirates in action against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on April 27, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 27: Isiah Kiner-Falefa #7 of the Pittsburgh Pirates in action against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium on April 27, 2025 in Los Angeles, Kiner-Falefa, Utility Kiner-Falefa is no stranger to a trade, as he's been moved three times, including twice in 36 hours in the 2022 offseason. His versatility makes him a viable trade candidate. He's a career .263 hitter, including .280 in 109 at-bats so far this season with the Pirates. He's currently on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain and it is unclear when he will return to action. Several teams, including the Cubs, Yankees, Twins and Brewers, could use a utility man/defensive replacement for late-game situations. Kiner-Falefa, a former Gold Glove winner, fits the bill. Andrew Heaney, Starting Pitcher Heaney has been the most frequently talked about trade piece from Pittsburgh and it is more and more likely that he will indeed be moved. He is 2-3 with a 3.18 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 39 2/3 innings pitched and seven starts this season. He's allowed eight runs over his last two starts, causing his ERA to climb above three for the first time all season. If he can get back on track and make himself a coveted trade target, the Yankees, Red Sox, Mariners and Guardians could use starting pitching help and should make Pittsburgh an offer for Heaney. David Bednar, Closer Bednar has struggled in a major way over the last two seasons, and a change of scenery may be what he needs to get his career back on track. He was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis less than a week into the season and since being promoted back to the major leagues, he's done solid work. Bednar has allowed just two runs and struck out five batters in his last five appearances. Most teams could always use bullpen help, but the Cubs, Red Sox, Rangers and Phillies are in the bottom 13 of Wins Above Average among relief pitchers.
