MLB rumors: How Yankees could make a Tarik Skubal deal work, plus major injury forces Rangers to pivot

The hot stove season has kicked off with early speculation linking the Yankees to a potential blockbuster pursuit of top target Tarik Skubal. Industry reports suggest New York could target the elite arm and subsequently deal from their pitching surplus to reinforce other areas of the roster.

While veterans and foundational pieces remain secure, pitchers such as Will Warren emerge as logical trade candidates due to their club control and strong recent performance.
