The Yankees first priorities at the deadline will be pitchers, specifically a starter and some relievers, to make up for injury losses this season. The team have already traded for two infielders: third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies and infielder Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals.

If Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara makes his scheduled road start against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night, he will have the full attention of contending teams seeking pitching help.

Bednar broke a two-month streak of not allowing an earned run on Monday night, but still picked up his 17th save of the season. Meanwhile, Santana owns a 1.39 ERA and minuscule 0.84 WHIP in 45 1/3 innings.

Ely Sussman of Fish on First has pegged the Yankees as one of the potential landing spots for Alcantara ahead of the deadline, which does not come as much of a surprise given how badly New York's starting rotation has been devastated by injuries this season.

The Nationals are holding on to their biggest guns, Sandy Alcantara interest is on the rise and Boston is circling a division rival.

The Miami Marlins are reportedly getting more trade interest for their ace, Sandy Alcántara. The Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers make sense as fits.

The Miami Marlins have crashed the National League Wild Card race, going 25-13 over their last 38 games to actually emerge as legitimate playoff contenders. Who
