After losing star slugger Aaron Judge to the injured list with a flexor strain in his elbow, the New York Yankees are facing a tough decision on whether to buy or sell at Thursday's trade deadline.

In his third MLB start, Yankees' right-hander Cam Schlittler lasted 4.1 innings, yielding three runs on seven hits and four walks, with five strikeouts, in a 4-2 loss to Tampa Bay.

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday at 6 p.m. ET. If last year is anything to judge by, Wednesday and Thursday are going to be chaotic, with several teams making last-minute decisions on whether to be buyers, sellers or some hybrid combination of the two.

The AL Central-leading Tigers added a pair of arms, making an in-division trade with the Minnesota Twins to add right-handers Chris Paddack and Randy Dobnak. Detroit officially lost starter Reece Olson for the season with a shoulder injury earlier in the day Monday.

Recent reports have indicated that former New York Yankees utility man DJ LeMahieu will wait for the trade deadline to pass before he signs with new team.

“Imagine the Yankees trade for Sandy Alcantara and [pitching coach] Matt Blake turns him back into his 2021-2022 version,” one said. “2021-2022 Alcantara is a better pitcher than Joe Ryan, MacKenzie Gore or anyone else on the trade market.”

Here is one last minute deal that the New York Yankees need to make before the upcoming MLB trade deadline.

Aaron Judge's elbow injury has altered the Yankees' plans during a down month of July — and could have altered them more, according to a new report.

The Major League Baseball trade deadline is 6 p.m. ET this coming Thursday, July 31, and the action is beginning to pick up. This past weekend we saw Josh Naylor go to the Mariners and Ryan McMahon go to the Yankees,

Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke about the team's plan ahead of the MLB trade deadline as their struggles continue.
