The New York Yankees may need to part with an All-Star to make a major trade this summer.
New York clearlywhere it can find them. The Yankees have what it takes to make a deep playoff run this year but there still are some holes on the roster. New York needs some more pop in the middle of the lineup and to land a player it needs may need to give up an important piece in a swapthat All-Star starting pitcher Nestor Cortés could end up being on the move.
"Prediction: The Yankees will trade Nestor Cortés," Kirschner said. "The Yankees made a similar move in 2022 when they traded Jordan Montgomery to the for center fielder Harrison Bader. The thinking was Montgomery would not be a part of the Yankees' playoff rotation, and general manager Brian Cashman wanted to shore up a critical spot defensively. Cortés comes with one more year of team control, and he still has value.
The Yankees seemingly have a surplus of capable starting pitchers so it wouldn't be too shocking to see Cortés get moved, especially because of the fact that the Yankees followed a similar playbook with Montgomery recently.More MLB:
