A top New York Yankees insider has bad news for Yanks fans hoping Brian Cashman is active before the MLB trade deadline.

As the Yankees search for ways to improve at the trade deadline, many have suggested that they either go after a third baseman or a second baseman. However, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic issued some caution, urging Yankees fans not to get too high on the potential additions they can make at this deadline, adding that it might be a “dud.”

The New York Yankees could use an upgrade in their infield and may swing a big trade to land a star third baseman at the deadline.
