What happened: Luis Arraez has surfaced as a potential trade option for the New York Yankees, per Talkin' Yanks. Acquiring the contact hitter would reportedly require New York to part with Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Why it matters: Adding four-time All-Star Luis Arraez would give the Yankees an elite bat for the playoff push. Moving Chisholm Jr. would represent a significant shift in their roster construction for the second half of the season.
By the numbers: The Yankees are 50-40 this season and average 4.8 runs per game. Arraez recently posted a strikeout-free streak of 76 straight plate appearances.
What to watch: Watch for further reporting on New York's trade targets as the deadline approaches.
