The article discusses the New York Yankees' strategy as the trade deadline approaches. It highlights George Lombard Jr. as a key untouchable prospect and emphasizes the importance of players like Rodriguez in potential deals. The conversation reveals a debate about targeting a top-flight starting pitcher, acknowledging the current rotation's strengths but also vulnerabilities. The piece notes that while no elite pitchers are available, making strategic additions could bolster their competitiveness, especially with an eye on future seasons.
If the Yankees want to make a move and consider George Lombard Jr. their untouchable prospect of the year, then Rodriguez would be one of the key pieces to navigating the deadline.
It's never a bad idea to add more great pitching, and while the Yankees are currently rolling with their rotation it'd undoubtedly feel like one of the most dominant rotations in baseball if they had Gerrit Cole going ahead of Max Fried and Carlos Rodón.
