After another tough loss for the New York Yankees on Sunday in a series against the Milwaukee Brewers, in which they lost two of three, as well as a blown lead against the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, it seems rather obvious what New York has to fix at this trade deadline.
The Yankees' bullpen has struggled a bit over parts of the season, and considering they have a chance to win a World Series, there's absolutely no reason for them not to be in the market for some relief pitching.
It remains uncertain if the Yankees want to go the route of adding closers to fill different roles, or bringing in standard relief guys who can come in and get outs in the later stages of innings.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Houston Astros are one team to watch regarding potential trade candidates. One of the players who could be dealt is left-handed closer , one of the best relievers baseball has ever seen. To me, the Yankees would benefit a lot from adding Hader, depending on the price.
The Yankees need to trade for a six-time All-Star to address their struggling bullpen and enhance their chances of winning the World Series.
The potential trade with the Astros involves a $95 million contract, which highlights the significant financial commitment the Yankees must consider.
The Yankees have faced bullpen struggles and recent losses, including two out of three games against the Brewers and a blown lead against the Orioles.

“If that happens, the buzzards will be circling, with teams asking what it will take to pry away first baseman Christian Walker, all-world closer Josh Hader, All-Star shortstop Jeremy Pena, third baseman Isaac Paredes and yes, even DH Yordan Alvarez,” Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote.
Prospect-wise, the Astros haven't been in a great position with their farm system over the past few years. The Yankees definitely have the prospects to get a deal done, but Houston might not want to trade him to New York.
There's also a side of the story that suggests that the Yankees have to be careful here, as Hader has yet to throw in a Major League game and is currently on a rehab assignment for a shoulder injury.
