MLB Trade Rumors: Yankees Interested In Andrew McCutchen But May Not Be Traded Today

The Yankees are on the hunt for a new addition to the outfield.

With both Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier sidelined on the disabled list, the Yankees are reportedly looking to bolster their outfield with the addition of National League MVP Andrew McCutchen, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. The team is expected to make a deal for an outfielder by the end of the day on Tuesday, but currently the club is only showing "soft interest" in McCutchen, who currently plays for the Giants.

​The Yankees already made trade moves this week by prioritizing their bullpen and snagging Lance Lynn in return for infielder Tyler Austin and pitcher Luis Rijo on Monday.

Here are several other possible moves that the team is rumored to be considering:
