As the Yankees look to make bigger deals, the club struck a trade with the Baltimore Orioles.<\/p>\n<p>A once promising prospect is on the move as the Yankees dealt catcher Alex Jackson to the Orioles. It was a low-risk move for New York moving on from a player who had not appeared for the Yankees in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the Yankees are receiving cash considerations or a player to be named later from the Orioles. Not exactly the kind of deal Yankees fans have been hoping for ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 31, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Baltimore Orioles acquired minor league catcher Alex Jackson from the New York Yankees on Sunday, agreeing to send international bonus pool money and either a player to be named later or cash considerations,\u201d ESPN detailed on July 6. \u201cHe was added to the major league roster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here is what you need to know about the trade with the Orioles along with the latest Yankees rumors.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Trade Former Top-10 Pick to Orioles for Potential Future Player<\/h2>\n<p>Baltimore was looking to add depth at catcher with Maverick Handley, Chadwick Tromp and Gary Sanchez all dealing with injuries. Jackson still has some appeal as the Seattle Mariners selected the catcher with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2014 MLB draft. The veteran hit a dismal .122 in 58 appearances for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not exactly an exciting profile, but Jackson still offers the Orioles some depth at a time where additional options are extremely necessary for the club,\u201d MLBTradeRumors.com\u2019s Nick Deeds detailed in a July 6, story titled, \u201cOrioles Acquire Alex Jackson From Yankees.\u201d \u201cStarting catcher Adley Rutschman has been sidelined since June 19 by an oblique strain, and since then depth catchers Maverick Handley and Chadwick Tromp were both sidelined by injuries of their own.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s left backup catcher Gary Sanchez to take the starting role while being backed up by fifth-string backstop Jacob Stallings.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Rumors: New York Linked to Potential Trade for Diamondbacks 3B Eugenio Suarez<\/h2>\n<p>As for a more significant move in New York, the franchise continues to be linked to potential trades for a veteran third baseman, preferably someone who can help bolster the team\u2019s hitting. USA Today\u2019s Bob Nightengale reported that both the Yankees and Seattle Mariners covet Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most intriguing team at the trade deadline is the Arizona Diamondbacks, who keep insisting they don\u2019t plan to be sellers \u2013 but may have no choice as the struggle around .500,\u201d Nightengale wrote in a July 6, story titled, \u201cZac Gallen doesn\u2019t want to be in Diamondbacks\u2019 MLB trade deadline rumors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile power-hitting third baseman Eugenio Sua\u0301rez is the one grabbing the most attention with his 27 homers and 70 RBIs, and coveted by the Seattle Mariners and the New York Yankees, D-backs starter Zac Gallen (6-9, 5.45 ERA) could be the most compelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees and Orioles are on different ends of the spectrum. Baltimore is 40-49 and in last place in the AL East, while New York is 49-41 in 2025. Despite the record, the Yankees are just 3-7 in their last 10 outings and could look to get aggressive at the MLB trade deadline if the struggles continue.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Adams is a veteran sports contributor covering the NFL, NBA and golf for Heavy.com.
