The New York Yankees have been one of the teams most prominently linked to Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez in MLB trade rumors this summer. Now, just days out from the July 31 deadline, it appears New York is having some reservations about a deal.

The Phillies, who have been searching for relief pitching help throughout the season, have agreed to sign veteran reliever David Robertson, reports The Athletic. It's a deal for the rest of the season for $16 million, prorated for just the remainder of the Phillies' games, reports MLB.com, or roughly $6 million.

The New York Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates are reportedly engaged in discussions regarding the acquisition of a key pitcher who could potentially bolster the Bronx Bombers' roster for the remainder of this MLB season.

Jones said he understands why some may be skeptical, but he's never had more confidence in his game. Do the Yankees feel similarly?

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has been open about the team’s desire to improve at the deadline. One player New York continues to be linked to is Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez. Fresh off his second All-Star appearance, Suarez appears to be generating plenty of buzz around the MLB.

The Pittsburgh Pirates have swiftly executed a strategic move by acquiring a promising prospect from the Kansas City Royals, trading away an underperforming player in the process.

The NL bested the AL in the most exciting All-Star Game in years Tuesday night. The second half begins Friday and, in only 15 days, the trade deadline will be upon us. Expect trade chatter and activity to pick up now that the amateur draft is in the rearview mirror and front offices can focus their attention on the deadline.
