At some point during this season, the New York Yankees must address their outfield needs, possibly through a trade. Given their struggles and ongoing injury concerns, General Manager Brian Cashman, who acquired Andrew Benintendi in 2022 at the deadline, may have no choice but to improve the unit.

One potential trade target is St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O’Neill, who, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN, may be available due to a strained relationship with the Cardinals’ management.
