The Yankees have traded for Cam Eden from the Blue Jays.
Eden, 26, debuted in the majors last September against the Yankees. After the season, he returned to the minors and hasn’t been on a major league roster since. The Yankees might bring him up in September when rosters expand. This year, he hit .198/.299/.322 in 91 Triple-A games and has a minor-league OPS of .677. But what really stands out is his speed—153 stolen bases with an 88% success rate!
Yankees’ New Speedster
The Yankees see Eden as a potential game-changer during high-pressure moments in the postseason. With new MLB rules making it easier to steal bases, having someone like Eden could be very useful.
Fans might think this move shows how serious the Yankees are about winning.
To be eligible for playoffs, players must be with their team by August 31 at 11:59:59 p.m. ET. So if needed, Eden can join the Yankees’ playoff roster.

Currently, the Yankees share first place in the AL East with a record of 68-48, tied with Baltimore Orioles. They’re set to face off against last year’s World Series champs, Texas Rangers, this weekend.
