Major League Baseball's trade deadline is scheduled for next Thursday, which means teams have less than a week to get their midsummer shopping done. The moves have already started, as the Mariners recently acquired Josh Naylor from the Diamondbacks while the Yankees acquired Ryan McMahon in a trade with the Rockies.

The New York Yankees made their first big addition on Friday afternoon. Now, they can turn all their attention toward adding a talented starting pitcher.

The New York Yankees are one of the first few teams to strike a deal ahead of the trade deadline. The Yanks were linked to Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suarez, but instead, they picked Colorado Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon.

“Spencer Jones has back spasms and won’t start for AAA Scranton tonight,” posted Curry on the social media platform. “His absence from the lineup has nothing to do with a potential trade.”

As the New York Yankees explore potential trade deadline acquisitions to help pull them out of a recent rough patch, top prospect George Lombard Jr. is unlikely to be included in any deals they might make.
