The New York Yankees made two massive moves to improve the batting order, injecting slugging left-handed batters. Acquiring Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers and Anthony Rizzo from the Chicago Cubs will contribute more offensive production immediately.
Both players are expected to join the team against Miami on Friday, as Rizzo will take over at first base, and Gallo will host an outfield spot.
However, the acquisition of Rizzo could make Luke Voit expendable, as the Yankees have drawn interest in the power righty.
Jack Curry of the YES Network has indicated that the Yankees could trade first baseman, Luke Voit:
Voit is currently on his third stint on the injured list due to left knee inflammation.
