Trade rumors: Yankees, Skubal, Miller, Astros

As the MLB trade deadline of August 3 approaches, the New York Yankees' trade plans have been complicated by Cody Bellinger suffering a left hamstring strain while hitting a double against Philadelphia, landing him on the injured list alongside Aaron Judge. The Yankees were already seeking upgrades at catcher, shortstop, and relief pitcher, but Bellinger's absence now elevates outfield as a priority. MLB insider Jon Heyman identified potential outfield targets including George Springer, Jo Adell, Jorge Soler, Spencer Steer, and Lane Thomas, while also noting the latest rumors surrounding pitchers Tarik Skubal and Mason Miller and the Houston Astros' deadline strategy.
