FanSided’s Quinn Everts named four trade destinations for Baltimore Orioles All-Star slugging utility man Ryan O’Hearn, including the Bronx. “He'd be a happy hitter in the Bronx, and he's mashed against the Yankees in his career, too,” wrote Everts. “Adding O'Hearn wouldn't be a luxury move, it would be one of necessity for the Bombers.”

With several needs before the deadline and few other first-half problems that can be corrected, the Yankees have room for improvement in the second half.

Regarding Minnesota Twins center fielder Byron Buxton, Heyman reported that there's "no chance" that he gets moved before the trade deadline. Buxton declared to Heyman, "I'm a Twin for life," so it doesn't appear likely that he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause anytime soon.

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers could emerge as the perfect suitors in a trade for Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan.
