Matt Olson is on the trade market thanks to the Triannual Oakland Athletics fire sale, and the New York Yankees are interested.
SNY’s Andy Martino reports Oakland’s star first baseman was “there for the taking” if the Bronx Bombers are interested. Similarly, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com states the team has already “internally discussed” Olson’s availability, but also haven’t ruled out re-signing Anthony Rizzo.
Former Cincinnati Reds GM Jim Bowden went a step further in a piece for The Athletic and put together a trade proposal himself. The Yankees receive Olson, and Oakland receives Luke Voit, Gleyber Torres, and Domingo German.
