If the New York Yankees are going to make big trades for big players, they're going to need to part ways with some talented prospects.

During a live Q&A, Brendan Kuty discussed a variety of Yankees topics, including the deadline, Anthony Volpe and the team's summer swoons.

MLB trade deadline approaches, the New York Yankees are shopping for everything from bullpen and rotation additions to infield help. Regarding the latter, two infielders are clearly the best options.

The New York Yankees are expecting a premium would be imposed by a division rival in potential trades for several good fits.

"We’re going to town,” Cashman said. “We’re going to do everything we possibly can to improve ourselves and try to match up."

Record: 51-41 (89.8% playoff probability, per FanGraphs)

The New York Mets fell just short of the World Series last season and could be aggressive at the trade deadline this year to ensure it does not happen again.

Everson Pereira was scratched with general sickness and Bryan De La Cruz with an oblique issue on Tuesday night, and both remained out of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre lineup on Wednesday afternoon.

NEW YORK — Yankees general manager Brian Cashman knows he isn’t showing up to the trade market this month with one item on his shopping list. If all goes according to plan, he’ll be filling up his cart with big-league talent this year.
