The Yankees starting rotation holds the third-best ERA in baseball with a 3.23 mark as a unit entering play on July 12.But they could always look to add to this group, and it sounds like they intend to do so ahead of the Nick Vannett Jersey August 2 trade deadline.One name, whos the best option available on the market, is the ace for the rebuilding Cincinnati Reds, Luis Castillo.According to MLB insider Jon Heyman of , the Yankees like Castillo, as do many teams. However, the Reds are asking general manager Brian Cashman and staff for one of their top two shortstop prospects, Anthony Volpe or Oswald Peraza. This all but demolishes the po sibility between the two sides striking a deal. This ask was Will Clapp Jersey a non-starter in the offseason when the Yankees were trying to trade for first baseman Matt Olson, too.The Los Angeles Dodgers are another team interested in Castillo, who they have been high on for a while and is their number one choice on the starting pitching market. The competition alone will likely allow the Montravius Adams Jersey Reds to take their pick of the best prospect package around the league, which also decreases the Yankees odds given their unwillingne s to trade Volpe or Peraza.

New York could look to acquire Castillos Reds teammate, fellow starter Tyler Mahle, instead. But with a thinner starting pitching market, Cincinnati will probably be seeking an overpay for this right hander as well. It remains to be seen whether the Yankees will be able to trade for another starter, it will all depend on the cost acquisition. Its also not their biggest priority, as opposed to outfield help, and a bullpen arm. On the bright side, New Ethan Greenidge Jersey Yorks rotation is deep and talented. But in the very least, Cashman and the baseball operations group are still looking around to see if they can add in an already rich area.MORE:
