The Yankees likely will not be buyers at the trade deadline, but their biggest rivals just might be. If the Red Sox do invest heavily at the deadline, the Yankees should be pleased.
With the MLB non-waiver trade deadline a few weeks away, trade season is nearly upon us. For once, there is little buzz surrounding the Yankees about trading for impact players. Instead, the focus is on if, or how much, New York should sell. Conversely, the teams ahead of the Yankees in the AL East have been the subject of rumors about buying.
The team most rumored to be interested in making a deadline move is the Boston Red Sox.
