The New York Yankees, like every contender, are trying to improve their roster before the trade deadline to make a run at the World Series. They shockingly brought up one of their stars in trade talks.

Once the dust settles from the trade deadline later this week, the Yankees will have another key pitching decision to make. Right-hander Luis Gil is scheduled to make what will probably be his final rehab assignment start on Tuesday with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers met in the World Series last year. This year, they could meet to make a deal at the trade deadline.
