After losing star slugger Aaron Judge to the injured list with a flexor strain in his elbow, the New York Yankees are facing a tough decision on whether to buy or sell at Thursday's trade deadline.

Pirates pitchers David Bednar and Mitch Keller could go to the Yankees at the MLB trade deadline, but not without some haggling.
