The New York Yankees are 21-29 since they were a season-high
15 games over .500 at the end of play on June 12 (38-23) and are in dire need of a spark.
With Aaron Hicks nearing his return, Sonny Gray getting into the swing of things and a lights-out bullpen, that spark may come. Or, general manager Brian Cashman could turn to the waiver market to find it.
For those who don’t know how a waiver trade works, it’s a complex process that’s fairly simple to understand.
When a player is placed on waivers by his team, other teams can submit a claim.
