The ongoing saga of Josh Donaldson's benching with the Yankees.

Josh Donaldson's forgettable season with the New York Yankees has led to trade rumors as the MLB trade deadline approaches.

The Yankees are hoping to increase his trade value by playing him more, but it's unlikely he will stay with the team for long. The situation is reminiscent of last year's Joey Gallo saga, where the Yankees played him in hopes of increasing his trade value before eventually trading him to the Dodgers.
