Yankees trade deadline needs and plans revealed

The New York Yankees continue to struggle with Aaron Judge on the injured list.

Aaron Boone's team is sitting on a 48-38 record, so even with some consistency issues, they're still in a position to make a late-season push once their stars get back.

The Yankees will get Max Fried, Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham and Judge back at some point in the season, but that doesn't mean they'll stay put at the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, general manager Brian Cashman will be active in the trade market.

The Yankees will make some moves at the deadline

"Cashman has a history of making the moves he deems necessary at the deadline, so the Yankees will likely add a relief arm or two. Catcher is a different situation; despite their offensive woes at the position, introducing a new catcher into the mix could disrupt the pitching staff, which currently owns the best ERA in the majors," Feinsand wrote. 

Austin Wells' offensive struggles have been a talking point for most of the season, but he's an outstanding game-caller and a great defensive backstop, so the Yankees might not want to mess with that.

As for the bullpen, they'll give No. 4 prospect Carlos Lagrange a chance to prove what he can do before making a move.

It's been nearly two decades since the Yankees' last title, and with pressure mounting on the manager and the front office, this might be the perfect time to make a big splash.
