The 2025 MLB Power Rankings are back with the last edition before the trade deadline. The Yankees are slipping and the Blue Jays are soaring.

The New York Yankees were reportedly interested in acquiring Seth Lugo, but he's off the market after the Kansas City Royals gave him a new contract.

The Yankees have turned their attention to the pitching staff, in particular the bullpen, as Thursday's trade deadline draws near.

The Yankees are reportedly looking for another outfield bat and both Harrison Bader and Austin Slater could be trade deadline options.
