Yankees could upgrade second base through waivers

Should the Yankees reunite with Martin Prado?

The non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone, but that doesn't mean the Yankees can't still make a trade. Between now and August 31st, players can be placed on revocable waivers which gives the other 29 teams a chance to claim those players. It can be a fairly difficult process since the order that teams can claim players in is based on the reverse order of the standings, meaning that the worst teams get the first shot. If a player is claimed by another team, that player can be: a) called back by their current team, b) traded to the claiming team or c) released to the claiming team (thus sticking them with the player's contract).
