MLB's July 31 trade deadline is just a week away, with rumors swirling around All-Stars and a Cy Young winner.

The New York Yankees are projected to deal a big-league rookie to the San Diego Padres amid a surprising update on an ace pitcher.

The Mariners and Yankees sit in wild-card spots and they are chasing the same player. The two teams have shown interest in Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon, reports the Denver P

The Yankees figure to be one of the most aggressive teams at the trade deadline. Here are nine names to watch over the next 10 days.

The Reds are said to be shopping for a bat that would help boost their lineup, as well as some bullpen help ahead of next Thursday's deadline. Cincinnati currently sits at 53-50 and 2 1/2 games behind the San Diego Padres for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

The New York Yankees need a third baseman and have until Thursday to make a trade. Could the Kansas City Royals provide them with an All-Star?

While there doesn't appear to be a clear positional fit for the Yanks -- Cody Bellinger is the starting center fielder and Anthony Volpe is entrenched at shortstop (Cruz's former position) -- Cruz would certainly add a power/speed dimension to New York's lineup as they chase the Blue Jays in the AL East.

The New York Yankees are in need of some infield help, but may not align too well in a trade with some teams who have infielders to offer. Could they use one of their outfielders to land an infielder in a three-team deal?
