Unfortunately, the front office hasn\u2019t accomplished that, playing some questionable names at the third base position. It\u2019s a strange situation for all parties involved, but there could be a scenario where the Yankees get a trade done at the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent proposal from Pinstripe Territory host Derek Levandowski, the Yankees would land one in the form of\u00a0Josh Jung\u00a0of the\u00a0Texas Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Rangers do have a lot of infield depth,\u201d\u00a0Levandowski said. \u201cThis guy is an elite defender. He\u2019s got some upside with the bat. Couple years ago, he had 23 home runs. He\u2019s still 27 years old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like this guy. Defensively, he reminds me of like a young Matt Chapman. He\u2019s that kind of fielder. And I think there\u2019s room to grow offensively.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Would Rangers\u2019 Josh Jung Be Ideal for Yankees?<\/h2>\n<p>Jung would be a decent addition for the New York Yankees, but it isn\u2019t exactly like he\u2019s a perfect player. When he\u2019s healthy, he\u2019s shown the ability to swing the bat at a high level. However, he played in just 46 games a season ago.<\/p>\n<p>In 43 games this season, the right-handed hitting third baseman is hitting .288 with a 131 OPS+ and seven home runs. The Texas Rangers might not have much of a reason to move on from him, but if the Yankees are willing to trade any of their top prospects, Texas could be interested.<\/p>\n<p>Jung seems to be healthy now, and that\u2019s important, as the Yankees don\u2019t want to deal with another injury. When speaking to reporters about Oswaldo Cabrera, who was playing third base for the Yankees before his gruesome injury, Aaron Boone said that it\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019ll return this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say probably unlikely [he returns this season], but we probably won\u2019t know until a week, 10 days in to where we get the doctors\u2019 protocols and then the ramp up as you go,\u201d\u00a0he told The Post. \u201cIt was a little more involved in there, but all things considered, fairly successful, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Do Yankees Need to Make Trade Before Deadline?<\/h2>\n<p>The New York Yankees could use help on the mound and at third base. If they want to win a World Series, some believe they need to add a position player, mainly at third base.<\/p>\n<p>Unless the Yankees do that, it\u2019s tough to say they\u2019d be the favorites to win it all. In the American League, the Yankees are the best team right now. That\u2019s been evident over the past year and a half.<\/p>\n<p>However, Alexander Wilson of Empire Sports Media believes that if the Yankees are serious about winning, trading for\u00a0Nolan Arenado\u00a0or another third baseman needs to be part of their plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a few intriguing options already emerging on the trade radar. Yoan Moncada of the Los Angeles Angels is a name to watch, depending on how desperate they become to offload contracts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Yankees want a true impact move, a call to the St. Louis Cardinals about Nolan Arenado might resurface. Arenado hasn\u2019t been elite in 2025, but his glove remains Gold Glove caliber and his offensive ceiling is still dangerous. If the Yankees are serious about winning now, that could be the kind of swing they need \u2014 depending on the asking price \u2014 they would need a ton of money kicked in from the Cardinals,\u201d\u00a0he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty For the past few months,\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0fans have been begging for a third baseman.
