"Trade Deadline Spells Trouble for These 4 Yankees Players"

As the New York Yankees approach the trade deadline, there are four players who may not survive the team's potential roster shakeup. Gleyber Torres, despite being one of the few above-average hitters in the lineup, has worn out his welcome and could be traded if the Yankees continue to struggle. Other players, such as Josh Donaldson, are considered unsellable assets due to their performance and contracts. The Yankees may look to acquire controllable pieces, sell rental players, promote young talent, and potentially complete unfinished trades from last year's deadline to improve their chances of competing in 2024.

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. Despite missing two months with a hamstring injury, Donaldson has hit six home runs in 21 games but is batting just .125 with 20 strikeouts. 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.

The ongoing saga of Josh Donaldson's benching and talks with Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

Josh Donaldson, the embattled third baseman for the New York Yankees, was absent from the dugout during the team's comeback win against the Texas Rangers. Donaldson has struggled at the plate this season, with only two singles in addition to his six home runs. It's unclear what was discussed in a pre-game meeting between Donaldson and manager Aaron Boone, but Donaldson refused to comment on it after the game. Despite his struggles, it's unlikely that the Yankees will trade or release Donaldson due to the cost. However, it remains to be seen if he will continue to be a bench player moving forward.
