On the Tuesday, May 24th edition of the Baseball Tonight Podcast hosted by ESPN’s Buster Olney, the topic of the New York Yankees potentially trading veteran players was brought up.
Olney was speaking with former Major Leaguer and current ESPN analyst Alex Cora, and said, “I know internally the Yankees are tying to find ways to incorporate younger players and that’s why I think during the days leading up to trade deadline they will talk to other teams about some of their players who represent depth.”
Olney brought up the names of relief pitcher Andrew Miller, closer Aroldis Chapman, catcher Brian McCann, and the most interesting name that was brought up at least from a Cleveland perspective was veteran outfielder, Carlos Beltran.
