The MLB trade deadline on August 1st is rapidly approaching, and the trade rumors around the New York Yankees are starting to heat up. The Yankees are 51-48, but a few games back of a Wild Card berth. The Yankees have already dealt Aroldis Chapman for a solid return of prospects and might not be done dealing quite yet. With that in mind, here all the latest Yankees trade rumors you need to know.
Will New York Deal Andrew Miller?
Most reports say they'd prefer to keep, but teams will call the Yankees about Andrew Miller.
#Yankees sense right now Miller is NOT traded. But have many talks ongoing about buying/selling next few days will provide further direction

The Yankees will demand a hefty return for Miller, perhaps one even larger than they got for Chapman. After all, Miller is under team control for longer. If Miller is dealt, the National could be a threat. Still, the sky-high asking price makes a deal unlikely.
Yankees Pushing Ivan Nova?
The trade of Chapman isn't likely to be the last one the Yankees make. They're reportedly trying to shop Ivan Nova now.
Rival execs say the Yankees have been pushing Ivan Nova in trade talks in recent weeks.

That's backed by a report from the New York Daily News, which reports Nova is the next player on the Yankees' trade list. Among the teams that have expressed interest in the soon-to-be free agent is the Marlins. Nova is 7-5 with a 4.65 ERA this year, but has pitched well in his last few starts.
Michael Pineda Drawing Interest?
Michael Pineda is also drawing interest, from teams like the Marlins. He's been incredibly sharp his last two outings, throwing six scoreless innings last week and then going seven strong innings of four-hit, one-run baseball to beat the Astros. Houston also checked out the Yankees last week when Pineda started, and his value is rising as of late. What he'll fetch in a trade is unclear, but he is controllable for next year as well.
