A season that started with high hopes has not progressed similarly for the Yankees. They have struggled to do well and are last in the AL East. Even after having a roster filled with stars, the Pinstripes have struggled because of the injuries in the setup. It has majorly affected the offense, which got worse after Aaron Judge‘s injury. And the remaining offensive players have failed to do consistently well. It has put Brian Cashman in a difficult situation, who is now looking for answers to this misery.

Their inconsistency at the plate is very much visible. As things stand, the Yankees would need a solid offensive player to do better while scoring. Though there are other areas of improvement, the management is most focused on offense. GM Brian Cashman hinted the same in his recent conversation with the MLB Network.

Talkin’ Yanks shared a clip of the conversation that read, “Brian Cashman says that among other things, the Yankees would like to add “a bat that could be more of an established, everyday offensive contributor in left field” at the trade deadline.”

It has opened the door to predictions of the Yankees going for Juan Soto, which Jeter predicted days back. Given Soto is in his third arbitration year with the Padres, it won’t be difficult for the Yankees to have him on board. With rumors about his $500 million contract expectations, New York could fill that too. Also, he fits well in the plans as a left fielder, averaging over 0.260, and has an OPS of 0.893.
