With the July 31 trade deadline looming and the Yankees trailing the Blue Jays by more than five games in the AL East, Brian Cashman needs to pivot quickly. Lugo may be staying in Kansas City, but here are three arms the Yankees can still target:

New York is said to be looking for a starting pitcher, and Nationals star MacKenzie Gore could be a target for the Yankees.

The New York Yankees' starting rotation could be a focus in the coming days. One trade target is no longer available after Seth Lugo signed an extension with the Kansas City Royals.

The New York Yankees are projected to deal a big-league rookie to the San Diego Padres amid a surprising update on an ace pitcher.

The Reds are said to be shopping for a bat that would help boost their lineup, as well as some bullpen help ahead of next Thursday's deadline. Cincinnati currently sits at 53-50 and 2 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

The New York Yankees are in need of some infield help, but may not align too well in a trade with some teams who have infielders to offer. Could they use one of their outfielders to land an infielder in a three-team deal?

The New York Yankees need a third baseman and have until Thursday to make a trade. Could the Kansas City Royals provide them with an All-Star?

The New York Yankees already made two trades before this Thursday’s deadline,acquiring third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and utilityinfielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals.
