The New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers may be historic rivals, but that hasn’t stopped them from doing business […]

The New York Yankees are reportedly interested in a trade for Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed starting pitcher Dustin May, according to Pat Ragazzo of Sports Illustrated.

One day after acquiring Erick Fedde, the Braves traded a player to be named later or cash to the Yankees for Carlos Carrasco.

Junior Caminero hit a two-run homer, Drew Rasmussen recovered from a rocky start on the mound and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the New York Yankees 4-2 in the opener of a four-game series.

The Yankees’ main focus has been on trying to play better, which they haven’t done consistently in a while. Since June 13, their 14-25 record is the third-worst in the game. Their bullpen had an atrocious 5.16 ERA over the span going into Monday.

NEW YORK — The Yankees traded away one of their Triple-A starters on Monday afternoon, shipping veteran Carlos Carrasco to the Braves for a player to be named later. Carrasco had been in Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for much of this summer, sticking around multiple times after being designated for assignment.

Both the Arizona Diamondbacks and Baltimore Orioles will likely operate with a sense of urgency in advance of the July 31 trade deadline, but not in the way that many expected they would coming into the season.
