Yankees linked to help for David Bednar for trade deadline that should be easy to find

Yankees' top trade deadline need has fortunate, easy solution

If the Yankees were looking for a specific type of pitcher, like a left-handed reliever or a dominant closer, it would be a lot more challenging to find a deal this season.

But the Yankees only need to add more middle reliever help, of which there typically is an abundance every year at the trade deadline.

Camilo Doval and Jake Bird haven't been good enough for the Yankees this season, leaving this setup reliever for Bednar a need for a few months away from the deadline.

If the Yankees decide to call up Carlos Lagrange, they could use him in such a role, or if they decide to move Ryan Weathers to the bullpen for the end of the season.

But, ideally, the Yankees add someone in the trade market this year. It's a bit too early to know who will and won't be available, but one option could be Houston Astros' Bryan Abreu.

Regardless of how the Yankees settle it, this setup man for Bednar is likely their top need, and should be addressed at this year's deadline. Fortunately, it's a fairly easy fix for the Yankees, as there should be plenty of options available this year.
