New York Yankees are one of the favourites to sign $7.5 Million player now…

The New York Yankees are one of the best teams in baseball with a 54-33 record. They are one game back of the Baltimore Orioles in the American League East. The team will likely add a bat to their lineup before the July 30 trade deadline. Cody Bellinger of the Chicago Cubs is a potential target for the Yankees, according to Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer.

Ramirez is the No. 20 prospect in the Yankees farm system. Ramirez, 22, was called up to Triple-A this season. This season, he held a .942 OPS in 58 games at the Double-A level.

The Yankees and Bellinger, 28, were involved in trade rumors last season, according to The Athletic’s Will Sammon, Katie Woo and Patrick Mooney.

The Athletic’s Levi Weaver noted that Bellinger has “drawn interest” from the Yankees In a July 2 story outlining trade deadline news.

Bellinger fills current and potential season-long needs for the Yankees. With Giancarlo Stanton on the injured list, Aaron Judge has moved over to right field and Trent Grisham is manning centerfield. Bellinger could play right away as an upgrade over Grisham.

However, Rymer noted the need in centerfield won’t be there for long. Upon Stanton’s return, Judge can move back to centerfield.
