The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: The trade deadline approaches, as it always does. Kirschner, the club’s beat writer for The Athletic, reached out on Twitter for realistic trade proposals from fans and then evaluated them in this article. In some of the theoretical swaps, the Yankees said nay. In others, the trade partner vetoed the deal. The one trade that Kirschner thinks could happen? Juan So... just kidding. Matt Thaiss, Carlos Estevez, and Jaime Barria from the Angels if they chose to sell, in exchange for Randy Vásquez and Drew Thorpe. Of course, since a Shohei Ohtani trade looks more and more unlikely by the day, the Halos will probably just keep all of those guys to make one last run with the likely MVP.
