The Miami Marlins and New York Yankees have looked like perfect trade partners ahead of the MLB trade deadline for quite some time now, and with some recent injury news for the Yankees, a deal between the two sides may consummate long before July 31. New York relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. was just placed on the 15-day injured list as a result of a stress fracture in his leg, further complicating the Yankees’ bullpen situation. Remember: Fernando Cruz has also been sidelined with an oblique issue. The Yanks probably would have been in the market for another reliever even if Leiter didn’t get hurt, but now, this further increases their need for another arm.
