The New York Yankees are desperately trying to find their way back into the World Series this season. After a disappointing loss against the Dodgers, they do everything possible to prove their worth.

There was no update from Fried or the Yankees on the details of his brief mound session, but he said earlier Friday that his finger has been healing pretty good and manager Aaron Boone said after the game that a full-scale bullpen may be in the cards for Sunday morning.

Brian Cashman has three significant areas that need to be addressed by the July 31 trade deadline, with none of the three any more important than the other.

If the Kansas City Royals want to go into sell mode prior to the trade deadline, one MLB executive suggested two potential landing spots for Seth Lugo.

FanSided’s Quinn Everts named four trade destinations for Baltimore Orioles All-Star slugging utility man Ryan O’Hearn, including the Bronx. “He'd be a happy hitter in the Bronx, and he's mashed against the Yankees in his career, too,” wrote Everts. “Adding O'Hearn wouldn't be a luxury move, it would be one of necessity for the Bombers.”

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers could emerge as the perfect suitors in a trade for Washington Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan.
