What happened: San Diego Padres reliever Mason Miller is "definitely available" on the market, according to Jeff Passan on the Pat McAfee Show. Passan identified the New York Yankees as a potential fit. He also noted a New York deal for Ryan Jeffers is significantly more likely than one for Hunter Goodman or Shea Langeliers.

Why it matters: New York is evaluating its deadline approach ahead of the August 3 cutoff. The front office is weighing whether to surrender rotation depth to secure bullpen or catching upgrades.

By the numbers: The Yankees hold a 50-41 record with a two-game winning streak. New York is outscoring opponents 4.7 to 3.9 on average this season.

What to watch: Watch to see if the Yankees engage in formal talks with the Padres regarding Miller.
