Yankees on verge of trading for Andrew McCutchen | What it means

NEW YORK -- Another trade deadline is approaching and once again the Yankees going after a big gun.

With right fielder Aaron Judge's broken wrist healing slower than anticipated, the Yankees have been looking for outfield help and they're reportedly close to acquiring five-time All-Star Andrew McCutchen from the San Francisco Giants.

The deal is expected to be finalized on Friday, which is Aug.
