The Athletic has live coverage of the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline.CHICAGO — Early Saturday, the New York Yankees made their first trade of the deadline rush, sending reliever Camilo Doval to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a pair of prospects.Doval might not be the only big leaguer the Yankees jettison — especially after how clearly their need for offense was on display again in a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs in which they squandered a strong start by Max Fried, who allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings.This year’s trade deadline has been different from others. There are still so many teams trying to decide if they are buyers or sellers or if they’re trying to do a little bit of both to stay afloat in tight wild-card races.In the American League, six teams were still within 3 1/2 games of the final wild-card spot as of Saturday night. In the National League, that number was four.The Yankees have plenty of prospects to trade, but Doval may have been only the first big-league chip they flip.Here are their likely six most attractive MLB trade chips. (Note: These are also their most realistic trade chips. They aren’t trading Ben Rice, trust us on that one):Ryan Weathers, LHPWeathers, 26, has been a huge addition for the Yankees, helping to stabilize a rotation hurt by injuries to Fried and Carlos Rodón, and a late start to the season from Gerrit Cole. In 21 starts, he has a 3.99 ERA and a 4-7 record, and has thrown 115 innings, nearing his career high of 137 1/3 set in 2023 between the majors and the minors. He’s been great at getting groundballs (46.9 percent) and strikeouts (26.1 percent), though his fastball has been beaten up (.615 slugging percentage).
