An unknown number of teams have been in touch with the Yankees about Alex Verdugo's availability, but there doesn't appear to be any sense that a trade is particularly close.
New York acquired Verdugo in a trade with the Red Sox during the offseason. Although he started well, his performance has declined recently with a .222/.264/.346 slash line in the last 297 plate appearances.
Giancarlo Stanton's return may impact the potential for a Verdugo trade, as he fills a gap in the lineup. The Yankees might consider promoting Jasson Dominguez to replace Verdugo in case of a trade.
