The New York Yankees are struggling to play complete baseball, leading to concerns about their roster as the trade deadline approaches. Despite a strong offensive showing, including a game-tying home run by Aaron Judge, they fell to the Toronto Blue Jays 11-9, tying the teams for first place in the AL East. As a result, speculation about potential trades has surfaced, with suggestions to acquire players like Eugenio Suárez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, relievers Seth Halvorsen and Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies, and utilityman Willi Castro from the Minnesota Twins.

Suárez, who has had a resurgence with 26 home runs and a .874 OPS, could bolster the Yankees' lineup. Meanwhile, the Yankees could also benefit from adding Halvorsen and Bird to address their bullpen challenges. Lastly, a controversial trade involving Castro could reshape their infield dynamics, particularly if they decide to move on from Anthony Volpe.
