New York Yankees fans are urging general manager Brian Cashman to make some serious moves.
It comes after the team is just won four games out of its last 10 including getting swept by the Houston Astros over a two-game series.
While the Yankees are 65-31 on the year with a comfortable 12-game lead in its division, fans aren’t satisfied.
The most recent move Cashman made was acquiring bench bat Tyler Wade from the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later or cash.
But that won’t be enough as fans want Cashman to make a big move – particularly for Washington Nationals star Juan Soto and/or pitcher Luis Castillo from the Cincinnati Reds.
One fan tweeted: “If there’s a way that Brian Cashman can miraculously pull off Luis Castillo/Juan Soto trades come trade deadline…..DO IT!!!!!”
Another said: Brian Cashman needs to be fired if Oswald Peraza is not either in another organization or on the Yankees MLB roster by August 3.
Others want struggling first baseman and outfielder Joey Gallo gone.
“Brian Cashman needs to trade Joey Gallo tonight. I don’t even care if you run out a 25 man roster tomorrow this guy needs to be gone ASAP,” a fan said.
Here are a couple of other top reactions from the fans.
According to the New York Post, the Yankees are one of the teams that are unwilling to trade top three prospects in a deal for Soto.
But Cashman said that he is continuing to have conversations with teams about bolstering the roster as the Yankees will hope for a deep playoff run.
“I was on the phone all day yesterday,” Cashman said.
“I’ve been on the phone all day today. I think that’s representative of all the GMs in the game right now.”
The MLB trade deadline will take place on August 2.
