The New York Yankees, who have fallen to fourth place in the world, are looking to win the World Series, but are aiming to reinforce their hitting line.

Major League Baseball's official media,reported on the 15th that the Yankees are watching Texas giant Joey Gallo.

The Yankees,who advanced to the American League Championship Series last season are in a serious slump this season.They finished the first half with a 46-43 record and are placed 4th in the Eastern Division of the American League. In the wildcard race, they tied for fifth place behind Tampa Bay, Oakland, Seattle and Toronto.

MLB.com said,It's no secret that the Yankees batting line is based toward right-handed hitters.The Yankees left-handed batters only played 692 at-bats, and their OPS (615) is the lowest in the American League and 29th in the Major Leagues.

Gallo is one of Major League Baseball's leading home run hitters.He is batting 2-1 in 84 games this season,batting 2 to 3 pennies (66 hits at 276), 24 homers, 52 RBIs and .923 OPS.

MLB.com said,Gallo can not only deal with the Yankees left-handed hitter, but he can also address the situation in center field that has been difficult since Aaron Hicks was injured.Gallo hasn't played in center since 2019, but he's a good defensive right fielder who can play well enough in center.

The Yankees aren't the only team interested in Gallo.Like the Yankees, San Diego (3rd in the National League West), who is not performing as well as expected, is also interested in Gallo. MLB.com predicts that the trade will cost a lot of money because Gallo can be controlled by the team through 2022.
