Sell The Farm - Yankees Trade Targets
The Bombers have some pretty obvious holes. Third base has been a major need all season long. Oswaldo Cabrera isn't the answer and despite his contract DJ the Machine, hasn't looked anything like his old self with just three extra base hits all season. The bullpen is an issue as well and needs more than just one piece, but a lefty reliever is a must have. The fanbase would also like a starter and impact bat, but as the want list gets longer, the competition to fill those needs gets greater.Here are the most likely Yankee trade targets to watch in the next week plus:
Mascot Ban Hits Suffolk

Meet The New Mets?
Addressing the bullpen will be crucial. The Mets don't even know if they can trust their high paid closer Edwin Diaz so this is a must add at the break if they want to compete. The Amazin's likely aren't willing to part with big names for a guy like Mason Miller with the whole league chasing the young fireballer. That leaves guys like Kyle Finnegan, but that's an in division deal which makes it unlikely, and Jason Adam. Adam clicks a lot of boxes for New York. He has been a set up man and a closer and can jockey between the two seamlessly. In this Mets bullpen getting the key outs will be more important than getting the last outs and Adam seems like a good fit for that role. The same can be said for his teammate Pete Fairbanks, the Rays know how to use relievers in multiple roles and are falling out of the race. Tampa is a good spot to buy from.If New York wants an arm they likely won't get into the Garrett Crochet or even Erik Fedde free for all, but some lower names might be good to eat innings.

TLaw Is Money In The Bank
With that said quarterbacks are one of the safer positions to project upside and health with. That leads us to an underrated asset this season in Trevor Lawrence. TLaw walked into the league with as much hype as any prospect not named Andrew Luck or John Elway. Lawrence's shine faded quickly after his disastrous coach led him to a first year mess, and naysayers are still loud after last season, but that is a good thing for finding value.
Resiliency Plan Will Bolster Suffolk's Coast
