There are still a few weeks to go before the Yankees have to decide if they are buyers or sellers. After two losses to the Padres, I am starting to lean towards selling, but I am not there yet. I hope they do fully-commit one way or another. If they are not giving up on the season, then they cannot trade Chapman. If they do sell, then they need to sell everything they can to whomever they can. The Yankees have traded within the American League many times over the years. I do not see that being an issue if they are truly sellers.

The idea that teams would ask more from the Yankees than other teams is absurd. Wasn't that a big CuseHulk talking point?

Miller, Chapman, and Beltran are obviously their big-ticket items. It is possible they could receive some interest for Gardner. Sabathia would have to approve a trade and since the 2017 clause looks like it will kick-in, he is owed a lot of money next year. Pineda and Eovaldi are possibilities I suppose, but if either shows anything in July, I think the Yankees will keep them as they are only eligible for arbitration next year. If Teixeira has a good July, there might be some interest, but he would have to approve a trade as well. The Yankees would basically have to pay a team to take A-Rod.
