With the 50-44 record, the New York Yankees currently sit in fourth place in the AL East. As the Yankees look to make a second half push, New York is eyeing a trade for a young St. Louis Cardinals outfielder.
Dylan Carlson has emerged as a potential trade target for the Yankees, via Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. With Tyler O'Neill set to claim the starting job in left field, Carlson will get limited playing time with the Cardinals. With a trade to the Yankees, Carlson would be hoping to see the field more often.
New York would be looking for Carlson to improve on his down 2023 numbers. Through 57 games, the outfielder has hit just .237 with five home runs, 20 RBI and three stolen bases. However, Carlson had his best season as a professional just two years ago. In 149 2021 games, Carlson hit .266 with 18 home runs and 65 RBI, all career-highs.
