MLB insider says Yankees may skip rotation upgrade at trade deadline originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since spring training, when Gerrit Cole went down for the season and they lost Luis Gil, the belief was the New York Yankees would be scouring the trade market for starting pitching.

Speaking on MLB Network, Heyman said the Yankees will “look at the bullpen” as their primary focus—but also noted the team is exploring the addition of a right-handed hitting outfielder. That twist adds a layer of intrigue to a roster that already includes Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and Jasson Dominguez.

The Yankees are expected to seek bullpen help and an additional infield option at the trade deadline rather than more starting pitching.
