The New York Yankees have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew Benintendi and trading away outfielder Joey Gallo ahead of the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
According to Dan Martin and Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Yankees have had talks with the Royals focused on Benintendi and have likely discussed trades for other available outfielders, but they have considered the "price tag too high" for Benintendi thus far.
The Yankees have reportedly spoken with multiple teams about trading Gallo as well, with the Texas Rangers and San Diego Padres emerging as potential landing spots.
