Injuries, Payroll, and the Illusion of Contention: Yankees at a Crossroads

The Yankees post season aspirations are hanging in the balance as the team heads into the second half of the season. What has gone wrong so far and is it too late to do anything about it?

New York Yankees Move Carlos Carrasco to the Atlanta Braves

The Yankees traded Carlos Carrasco to the Braves for cash or a player to be named later, clearing a roster spot ahead of the deadline. Carrasco, who struggled in limited action this season, gives Atlanta a veteran arm for depth while New York maintains flexibility for more significant moves.

Trade Deadline Strategy Reassessed Amid Judge’s Injury

Aaron Judge’s injury has cast uncertainty over the Yankees’ postseason push, but it hasn’t derailed their trade deadline strategy. With Judge expected to return soon as a designated hitter, the front office remains focused on acquiring controllable pitching and versatile depth rather than making reactionary moves or sacrificing long-term value.

Yankees Add Infield Depth

The Yankees added Amed Rosario in a quiet but calculated move, targeting versatility over flash. Rosario gives the Yankees infield flexibility they’ve lacked, especially with Judge sidelined and the bench stretched thin. His speed, right-handed bat, and multi-position experience make him a useful piece for October-caliber roster maneuvering.

Ryan McMahon Moves to the Bronx

The Yankees trading for Ryan McMahon gives New York a steady glove and left-handed power at third base. By acquiring the 30-year-old All-Star from the Rockies, the team strengthens its lineup and reinforces the left side of the infield.

Anthony Volpe Is a Shortstop in Crisis

Anthony Volpe’s once-steady glove has faltered in 2025, with errors piling up and confidence slipping. While the Yankees remain publicly supportive, frustration is mounting as routine plays turn costly. Defensive miscues now threaten not just games, but Volpe’s standing as the franchise’s long-term answer at shortstop.
