Yankees To Trade for Jose Ramirez? Top Reporter Makes Huge Deadline Prediction
'Outbid by the Mets for Suarez, a desperate Cashman swallows hard and sends a big package, including Spencer Jones, to get a difference-maker at third base in Ramirez, the Guardians' perennial All-Star,' SNY MLB insider Jon Harper wrote in a predictions piece today.

'As beloved as Ramirez is in Cleveland, he turns 33 in September, with three more years on his contract. And with the Guardians going nowhere this season, they may see this as a chance to reload,' he added. 'Depending on how highly they regard Jones, the Yankees' power-hitting outfield prospect.'
Harper added that Ramirez has a no-trade clause in his contract. However, he assumes, like any star player, that waving it for the chance to play for the Pinstripes and in a pennant race will be an easy decision.
The New York Yankees' cost to trade for Jose Ramirez
The Yankees have been looking for an upgrade at third all year. First, Oswaldo Cabrera was doing a solid job in the role, but a serious ankle injury likely ended his season. Then, DJ LeMahieu was unable to fill the spot and was so disappointing that he was released earlier this month.
Ramirez would be a massive upgrade. While he didn't get All-Star honors again this season, he is having another big year and is on pace to hit over 30 homers and knock in 100 RBIs. Oddly enough, he has been a Yankees killer in the playoffs during his career. Not having to worry about seeing him in the postseason again would also be nice.
Jose Ramirez contract: Seven years, $141 million
Harper built his trade proposal on the Yanks giving up stud prospect Spencer Jones. However, various reports over the last year suggest mixed opinions about him around the league. To give up the six-time All-Star, there is a good chance the Guardians will want top prospect George Lombard. He is also 34th overall in the league on MLB.com.
If New York is unwilling to part with him, then Jones would be just one of the big prospects in an offer. The package likely would also include pitcher Bryce Cunningham (No. 4 in the system), big league shortstop Anthony Volpe (depending on how Cleveland values him), and one more top 50 prospect.

Treylon Burks being evaluated after injuring shoulder in practice
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks said recently that he hopes to stay healthy so he can show what he's capable of doing on the field, but that plan has hit a snag. Head coach Brian Callahan told reporters on Saturday that Burks is being evaluated for a shoulder injury. Burks left the team's practice at Nissan Stadium after making a diving catch. Callahan said the team will update the wideout's condition when they have more information. Burks is returning from a torn ACL that limited him to five games last season. The 2022 first-round pick also missed 12 games over his first two NFL seasons, so the team has plenty of experience playing without him over the last three years. UPDATE 2:50 p.m. ET: NFL Media reports Burks fractured his collarbone.

Report: Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone
Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks injured his shoulder during Saturday's practice at Nissan Stadium and the initial report about his condition suggests he's going to miss time with the injury. NFL Media reports that Burks fractured his collarbone while making a catch during the workout. The wideout is still undergoing tests to determine the severity of the injury and establish a timeline for recovery, but the report says he is expected to miss the start of the regular season at the very least. It's an unfortunate and familiar predicament for Burks. The 2022 first-round pick missed 12 games over his first two seasons and he missed the final 12 games of the 2024 season after tearing his ACL. Burks has 53 catches for 699 yards and a touchdown when he has been healthy enough to play. Calvin Ridley, Van Jefferson, and Tyler Lockett are joined by fourth-round picks Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike in the Titans' receiving corps. The Burks injury could help undrafted rookie Xavier Restrepo's chances of sticking with college teammate Cam Ward through the cut to 53 players.
