The New York Yankees spent a big chunk of the 2024 MLB season's first half appearing as top-shelf World Series contenders.
They've also skidded enough recently that it might take a big trade to snap out of this.
After needing just 72 games to hit the 50-win mark, they've only added another 10 victories to their total over their last 31 outings. This is a certified slump, and while it won't necessarily be season-defying, it could spur this team into action ahead of next week's trade deadline.
New York seems ready to spend—and spend large at that.
