\n People involved in making decisions about what the trade landscape will look like as the Aug. 31 deadline app<\/a>roaches believe the Yankees won\u2019t add a difference-maker to their lineup.<\/p>\n

With 16 teams making the postseason, a sub .500 club at the deadline could believe it has a chance to play in October even if it means grabbing an eighth seed. In other years, teams out of contention by the normal July 31 trading deadline are ready to deal.<\/p>\n

Plus, according to a source, if there are deals made, it will involve pitching, not hitting.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody needs pitching. This year you can get away with playing extra-type position players,\u2019\u2019 an AL talent evaluator said Monday. \u201cBut you can\u2019t get by without pitching. If you get a pitching injury or a guy goes bad, you have to be able to replace them.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

With the expanded postseason and more teams believing they have a chance to play in it and it gets hard to foresee deadline deals. Then there is asking players to switch teams during a pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really going to be difficult. I don\u2019t see how teams will pull it off,\u2019\u2019 an NL scout said of making deals. \u201cIt\u2019s a short season, so much uncertainty and so many concerns of the health of pitchers. How do you know pitchers are healthy and stretched out?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Adding to the uncertainty is that acquiring prospects becomes dicey because the only data on them is from 2019 because the minor leagues aren\u2019t playing.<\/p>\n

So, if the Yankees are going improve their lineup Gary Sanchez, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Hicks and Brett Gardner must hit better than they have across the first 16 game<\/a>s of the season. Not only that, but Giancarlo Stanton was hitting .293 with three homers, seven RBIs and a 1.038 OPS in 14 games when he landed on the IL on Sunday with a left hamstring problem. Stanton underwent an MRI on Monday.<\/p>\n

Clint Frazier is on the way back to The Bronx, but he can\u2019t be asked to pick up the slack left in the lineup by Sanchez, Torres, Hicks and Gardner.<\/p>\n

The most puzzling of that quartet is the 23-year-old Torres, who is batting .103 (4-for-39) and is 3-for-32 (.094) with a .272 OPS in his past nine games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey started hitting him third, and he tried to hit home runs,\u2019\u2019 a scout said. \u201cHe is not the same guy. The swing has gotten longer.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In nine games batting third, Torres hit .161 (5-for-31) with a .493 OPS. He hasn\u2019t hit third since Aug. 5 against the Phillies.<\/p>\n

When the Yankees were in Washington and had played one game a scout\u2019s rundown of the team was different than it is now with the Yankees (10-6) having dropped four of five entering a two-game series<\/a> against the NL East-leading Braves at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t look like they need help at the major league level,\u2019\u2019 the scout had said then. \u201cThey are good and they are deep.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Sixteen games in, replace \u201care\u201d with \u201cwere\u201d twice in the previous quote.<\/p>\n

Sanchez is hitting .103 (4-for-39) with a homer, three RBIs, a .427 OPS and 22 strikeouts. Hicks is at .211 (8-for-38) with a homer, three RBIs and a .756 OPS. Gardner is batting .206 (7-for-34) with three homers, a .789 OPS.<\/p>\n

Though the Yankees are used to playing without Stanton and excelled doing that last year, it becomes more difficult if Sanchez, Torres, Hicks and Gardner don\u2019t hit better because lineup help likely isn\u2019t on the way.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
