The New York Yankees need a second baseman. The Chicago Cubs are looking for an additional impact bat and might be targeting free agent Alex Bregman if he accepts a short deal with a high average annual value (AAV).

A quirky trade went down this Wednesday between the Yankees and Cubs, who swapped a 'promising' pitcher originally signed as a shortstop.

After missing out on Roki Sasaki, the New York Yankees could shift their focus to Alex Bregman as a potential key addition to strengthen their MLB roster.

Japanese ace Roki Sasaki's recruitment tour will include a second meeting with the Dodgers, with this one taking place in Los Angeles and allowing for the inclusion of other players, according to The Athletic.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres reportedly are the favorites to sign Roki Sasaki, but don't count out the Toronto Blue Jays.
