Kyle Schwarber is the trade possibility the Yankees can’t stop checking on.
The Yankees and Cubs have been engaging in conversations about the 26-year-old slugger recently, according to The Athletic. Schwarber has been on the Yankees’ radar since 2016 with a swing that looks perfect for the short porch in right field.
While there has been little progress in the talks, it underscores the Yankees’ need for more left-handed bats.
Schwarber is coming off his most complete season with the Cubs since the organization drafted him fourth overall in 2014, blasting 38 homers and collecting 92 RBIs in 155 games.
