Yankees also talking to Rays

The Yankees have had "numerous conversations" with the Rays, per Jack Curry of YES. The Rays have already traded Arozarena, Eflin and Aaron Civale this season, but there are more players who could be moved. Curry name checks All-Star third baseman Isaac Paredes, All-Star first baseman Yandy Díaz and reliever Pete Fairbanks as possible fits for the Yankees. Sure enough, Randy Miller of NJ.com reports the Yankees are in "serious talks" to acquire Fairbanks.
