This article was originally published on www.si.com as Five Third Basemen Yankees Should Target Ahead of MLB Trade Deadline. The New York Yankees have a glaring need at third base, and not too much time to figure out a solution.

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are expected to compete for a $70 million MLB All-Star as the trade deadline approaches.

With the MLB trade deadline just weeks away, the New York Yankees’ lengthy search for a much-needed, yet elusive, third baseman should be coming to a close.

Walpole’s Cam Schlittler will be called up from Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make his major league debut for the Yankees.

Aaron Judge stayed hot at the plate over the weekend, creeping up to 33 home runs on the season before the New York Yankees have even hit the All-Star break.

The first of those 12 tests was a blowout loss, with Cal Raleigh providing the only highlight. An inning after watching Aaron Judge hit his 34th homer of the season, Raleigh clubbed his 36th of the season in the eighth inning to set a new franchise mark for the most homers before the All-Star break, passing Ken Griffey Jr.’s 35 homers in 1998.
