It seems like every year around the trade deadline, the Yankees are linked to one of the Tigers’ starting pitchers. Is this the season the two teams finally link up for an impact deal? The last trade between the two sides I can remember saw Justin Wilson dealt to Detroit for Chad Green and Luis Cessa — coincidentally, all three wear pinstripes now — but the Yankees first have to determine if they themselves will be buying or selling at the deadline.
If New York are buyers, Detroit has some arms that could intrigue the Yankees.
