They have the best record in the American League and one of the best pitching staffs in all of MLB.<\/p>\n<p>Given the World Series aspirations that the Yankees possess, they could still afford to make meaningful additions via trade. With the Houston Astros falling into a deep hole with so many injuries, one can assume they will be sellers before the August trade deadline. Reliever Bryan Abreu is a player that the Yankees must consider trading for. He helped aid the Astros in winning a World Series in 2022, and now is a perfect time to buy low on the reliever out of the D.R.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Atlanta Braves Announce Signing of 17-Year MLB Player Before Dodgers Series<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>What Could a Yankees-Astros Trade for Bryan Abreu Look Like?<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_5862974\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?quality=65&amp;strip=all&amp;w=782\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 782px) 100vw, 782px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg 4127w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=150,100 150w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=782,521 782w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=780,520 780w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=425,283 425w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=253,169 253w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=270,180 270w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=225,150 225w, https:\/\/heavy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-1252123148.jpg?resize=242,161 242w\" alt=\"New York Yankees Must Consider Trading for Astros World Series Champion Pitcher\" width=\"782\" height=\"521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5862974\" data-lazy-load=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-5862974\">GettyATLANTA, GA \u2013 APRIL 23: Bryan Abreu #52 reacts with Cesar Salazar #18 of the Houston Astros after defeating the Atlanta Braves 5-2 at Truist Park on April 23, 2023 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Todd Kirkland\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Yankees are an MLB team with several tradeable assets that the Houston Astros may want. Early reports have indicated that the Stros are willing to take calls on some of their trade candidates. New York could put together a package that centers around Ben Hess or Carlos Lagrage.<\/p>\n<p>Houston has been plagued by injuries this season, so it could use some organizational reinforcements.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Yankees, the one item many fans and analysts believe New York needs is some bullpen help, which is the case with just about every contending team. Abreu isn\u2019t having a great year compared to prior seasons, but he\u2019s been one of MLB\u2019s most dominant relievers, especially in an eighth-inning\/setup role.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Abreu has carried moderate trade rumors all season, but Jon Heyman of the New York Post recently reported that Abreu\u2019s teammate, Christian Walker, is emerging as a prime trade candidate, which signals that players like Bryan Abreu could be next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More MLB on Heavy: Chicago Cubs Must Consider Trading for Giants\u2019 $115 Million All-Star Starter<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Bryan Abreu as a MLB Reliever<\/h2>\n<p>Bryan Abreu was one of the Astros key relievers during their 2022 World Series run.<\/p>\n<p>He holds a career ERA of 2.89 over 342 total innings and 468 strikeouts.<\/p>\n<p>In 71 innings last season, Abreu carried an earned run average of 2.28 with 105 strikeouts. Before 2026, Abreu had three consecutive seasons of 100+ strikeouts, which is very impressive for a reliever.<\/p>\n<p>He probably won\u2019t reach the 100 K\u2019s plateau this season due to being sidelined, and the Astros limited opportunities with a lead.<\/p>\n<p>Since being traded to the Yankees last season, David Bednar has handled the closer duties for the most part with New York, and he\u2019s been very effective. Some other righties the Yankees have in the bullpen include Camilo Doval, Fernando Cruz, Paul Blackburn, and Jake Bird.<\/p>\n<p>After Bednar and Doval, the bullpen depth changes drastically, which is ultimately why the New York Yankees should pursue Bryan Abreu in a trade at some point this season before August.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; MAY 02: Aaron Boone #17 of the New York Yankees heads to the dugout during the game against the Baltimore Orioles&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":184958,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
