While there are rumors flowing, the Yankees haven&#8217;t made a deal yet.<\/p>\n<p>If the Yankees are going to pursue a trade for a superstar, which is a possibility, the front office is going to have to cut ties with top prospects in return.<\/p>\n<p>FanSided&#8217;s Zachary Rotman recently suggested the\u00a0Yankees could sell high\u00a0on talented outfield prospect Spencer Jones ahead of the trade deadline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spencer Jones went from being an untouchable to one of the most disappointing prospects in the game to a player who appears to have fully bounced back,&#8221; Rotman wrote. &#8220;The strikeout concerns are still very real, making his profile extremely boom or bust, but he&#8217;s a tremendous athlete and has tons of power. The tools are there for him to be a superstar one day, and he&#8217;s putting superstar numbers this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The 24-year-old has a 1.032 OPS in 58 games overall this season. The last nine of those games have come at Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre, and he&#8217;s dominated in those contests. Jones has immense potential, and the fact that he&#8217;s having as great a season as he has makes him an ideal sell-high candidate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It would take a superstar trade for the Yankees to give up somebody like Jones. There&#8217;s a chance the front office in New York views the talented outfielder as their third outfielder of the future besides Aaron Judge and Jasson Dominguez.<\/p>\n<p>While he could work as a sell-high candidate, it would take a massive deal to pull him from the Yankees. A deal for Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara, Jhoan Duran, or another star pitcher could work.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unlikely the Yankees pursue a superstar on the trade block, so it&#8217;s unlikely Jones is dealt. Players like Eugenio Su\u00e1rez and Merrill Kelly are closer to the Yankees&#8217; price range.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Yankees might need to cut ties with a few top prospects if they want to land the blockbuster trades they need to make.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":68355,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68354","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 -
