The New York Yankees have been linked to a massive trade deadline move that could seal their World Series contention.

The Yankees have turned their attention to the pitching staff, in particular the bullpen, as Thursday's trade deadline draws near.

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.

No one should be surprised if they add one more bat before the deadline, preferably right-handed with the ability to play shortstop if necessary. Outside executives say the Yankees still have interest in obtaining a player offering something from the buffet of defense, righty hitting and/or speed.

The Yankees’ main focus has been on trying to play better, which they haven’t done consistently in a while. Since June 13, their 14-25 record is the third-worst in the game. Their bullpen had an atrocious 5.16 ERA over the span going into Monday.
