Milwaukee is shopping their ace Freddy Peralta, and their desire for a MLB-ready pitching prospect lines up nicely with the Yankees\u2019 depth in the rotation having Will Warren or Luis Gil on standby. The two youngsters offer a lot more team control than Peralta given he\u2019s entering his walk year, meaning both sides could walk away with what they desire \u2014 a front of the rotation boost for New York, and controllable pitching for the future in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlbtraderumors.com\/2026\/01\/yankees-have-shown-interest-in-nico-hoerner-luis-robert-jr.html?utm_source=twitter\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald:;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">MLB Trade Rumors | Darragh McDonald:<\/a> The trade market might hold multiple answers for the Yankees\u2019 needs this offseason, as they\u2019ve also shown interest in the Cubs\u2019 Nico Hoerner, another player entering his walk year but one with talent that could feasibly move as the Cubs have added to their infield with the addition of Alex Bregman. Hoerner would prove an upgrade over Anthony Volpe, who went through a much maligned 2025 and has yet to figure things out throughout his career with the bat. The Cubs aren\u2019t actively shopping him like Milwaukee is with Peralta, but if the right package could be put together the Yankees would suddenly be much improved for next season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/2026\/01\/12\/yankees-report-spring-training\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:NY Daily News | Gary Phillips ($):;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">NY Daily News | Gary Phillips ($):<\/a> Speaking of next season, the Yankees have announced the dates that players will report for spring training. Pitchers and catchers will arrive in Tampa by February 11th and hold their first workouts the next day, while position players will be expected by the 15th and full-squad workouts will start the 16th. That gives them a few days to prepare for their first spring training game on the 20th against the Orioles, and then we\u2019ll be off to the races with anticipation for the new season. The World Baseball Classic will be played during March and will pull a few Yankees away during that time, but they\u2019ll be back to full strength with plenty of time before the end of exhibition games on March 24th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/mlb\/news\/mlb-rumors-free-agency-trades-kyle-tucker-dodgers-mets-blue-jays-cubs-nico-hoerner\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:CBS Sports | Dayn Perry:;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">CBS Sports | Dayn Perry:<\/a> The Yankees\u2019 plan B for the outfield is reportedly Kyle Tucker, but if they want to get in the mix there they\u2019re going to have to hurry. The Dodgers, Blue Jays, and Mets have all held meetings with the biggest star of the offseason recently, and if he opts to go for a short-term deal to hit the market again in a year or two they\u2019re far better situated to win him over. If there\u2019s a player to blow away with a long-term deal this offseason it\u2019s Tucker, so perhaps they can flip the script on his free agency and get their foot in the door before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Upgrading the rotation has been the B-plot of this offseason with the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[33557,4701,4711,21297,103664,10006,42328,23560,8263,363,34977,25922,99,40434,18708,12404],"class_list":["post-404182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-alex-bregman","tag-anthony-volpe","tag-cody-bellinger","tag-freddy-peralta","tag-gary-phillips","tag-kyle-tucker","tag-luis-gil","tag-mets","tag-milwaukee","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-trade-rumors","tag-nico-hoerner","tag-sports","tag-the-cubs","tag-will-warren","tag-yankees"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=404182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/404182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=404182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=404182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=404182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
