Yankees Predicted to Cut Ties With 25-Year-Old They 'Ruined' by Trade Deadline
Third base for the New York Yankees has been manned by many players this season.
Oswaldo Cabrera started the season there. Jazz Chisholm Jr. took over there after Cabrera's injury. Chisholm was then moved back to second base, leaving Jorbot Vivas and Oswald Peraza as the primary options in the hot corner.

NewPeraza has seen the majority of the work recently, but his time could be coming to an end. The Yankees are reportedly doing their homework on the third base market, and FanSided's Thomas Carannante predicted that Peraza would not be on the 40-man roster by the time the trade deadline arrives.
"All in all, the Yankees ruined Peraza with their preferential treatment of Anthony Volpe years ago," wrote Carannante. "It is what it is. On the other hand, Peraza has also done himself zero favors and has only validated the Yankees' decision to keep running Volpe out there every day. It seemed Peraza's ceiling could've been a valuable infield utility option, especially after Oswaldo Cabrera went down, but instead he's been one of the worst qualified MLB hitters to date. They will not find a trade partner here; it will be a clean DFA to welcome whoever it is that should be able to do far better."
Peraza is slashing .150/.212/.242 this season. The Yankees have World Series aspirations, and they are not going to meet them if they keep trotting Peraza out to play third base.

Yankees announce Saturday lineup at Miami
MIAMI - At least, the Aaron Judge-less Yankees lineup did its job - and more - before Friday night's epic loss to the Marlins at Loan Depot Park. With his second homer in the last two days Giancarlo Stanton's three-run shot was his sixth home run in his last 13 games, bating .300 (13-for-50) over that period with 13 RBI and a 1.020 OPS. Anthony Volpe's last 13 games feature this stat line: .298 batting average (14-for-47), seven homers, 11 RBI, 1.086 and he's 4-for-4 in stolen bases attempts. And that was another clutch Volpe home run, tying the game at 10-10 in Friday's ninth inning, only for the Yanks' new bullpen arms - and a huge error by Jose Caballero in right - contributing to a brutal 13-12 loss. Meanwhile, Judge (strained right flexor) took on-field batting practice for a second straight day, Saturday. The plan is for Judge to hit vs. live pitching Sunday at Tampa, Fla., ahead of being activated off the IL either Tuesday or Wednesday at Texas. Here is the Yankees' lineup Saturday vs. Marlins' right-hander Eury Perez (3-3, 3.07 ERA): Trent Grisham, CF Jasson Dominguez, LF Cody Bellinger, RF Giancarlo Stanton, DH Jazz Chisholm Jr., 2B Ben Rice, C Paul Goldschmidt, 1B Ryan McMahon, 3B Anthony Volpe, SS SP: Cam Schlittler, RHP (1-1, 4.91 ERA).

Red Sox Slammed By MLB Writer For Being 'Boring' At Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Boston Red Sox added just two players at the trade deadline, and they didn't do as much as some insiders expected. While Boston didn't have any glaring holes besides adding another front-end starting pitcher, the organization could've bolstered the team more. Tyler Kepner from The Athletic is now slamming the Red Sox for a lackluster trade deadline. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - AUGUST 01: Masataka Yoshida #7 of the Boston Red Sox reacts after being hit by a pitch during the seventh inning of a game against the Houston Astros at Fenway Park on... BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - AUGUST 01: Masataka Yoshida #7 of the Boston Red Sox reacts after being hit by a pitch during the seventh inning of a game against the Houston Astros at Fenway Park on August 01, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. More"Once upon a time, the Boston Red Sox were interesting," Kepner wrote. "Sometimes they won the World Series. Sometimes their egos got in the way of that. But they always acted boldly and decisively. They swung big. ... These are not the old days. These are the boring days — not the players or the games, but the organizational ethos. The Red Sox seem to believe they can build a winner without taking risks, a trait they exhibit every offseason and trade deadline." Nothing against Dustin May or Steven Matz, but they're merely depth pieces. Both of them are on expiring contracts and will likely leave in free agency after the season. Those are the only two players the Red Sox brought in over the days that led up to and included Thursday's deadline. Now, the Red Sox have dug their grave and have to lay in it. This is the group they believe will get them far in the playoffs. Whether it actually does remains to be seen. Kepner seems to believe this will blow up in Boston's face. "Maybe the Red Sox will grow tired of austerity, of one-year contracts and painless trades for fixer-uppers, of waiting for a homegrown core to spark a renaissance," he wrote. "Or maybe this group makes a deep playoff run, validates the front office's approach and makes all the critics look foolish." If the Red Sox do silence the doubters, don't be surprised if they continue down this path. If the plan blows up in their face, expect some big changes in the offseason.
