Twitter poll: what big trade, if any, do you see the Yankees making this July? May use your answers in an upcoming blog post

It is getting to be about that time in the MLB season where
contenders distance themselves from the rest of the pack, the pretenders show
their true colors and a whole slew of players change uniforms at the July 31st
trading deadline. When I was a kid and a teenager, back in the George
Steinbrenner era when “The Greedy Pinstripes” would have been an appropriate
blog name for this team, this was the best time of the summer as I constantly
refreshed MLB Trade Rumors and watched Baseball Tonight for the latest rumors,
news and speculation. Now we stand here on June 23rd a little more
than a month away from the trade deadline and I find myself wondering what the
Yankees will do to add to this year’s team, if anything, which sounded like a
good spot for a Twitter poll.
@GreedyStripes Think we can get anyone good for Stephen Drew? ;)

@GreedyStripes it seems like too many of our best prospects are on the DL hurt etc. no trades till these guys get a fair chance to play

Johnny Cueto
@GreedyStripes I'd like to get Cueto or Hamels just think the price will be too much ie Judge, Severino etc
— Michael GoogZ (@mikeg1324) June 22, 2015
@GreedyStripes Cueto. If lucky they can get him for guys like Williams/Flores etc.

If the New York Yankees were to acquire Johnny Cueto for
Mason Williams, Ramon Flores and some prospects not named Luis Severino and
Aaron Judge I would personally go shake the hand of Brian Cashman myself and
congratulate him. Truth is though the Reds are banking on their rebuild coming
from the trade of Cueto and that won’t fit into the Yankees plans. You may get Mike
Leake for Williams and/or Flores but you won’t get Cueto, not even for two
months of the season.
@GreedyStripes go big I say. Trade for hamels with a package built around Sanchez, Jagielo, Ref and one of the ofs.

Troy Tulowitzki

Even with Didi Gregorius hitting better and defending much
better lately this is a trade rumor I can get behind. Nice work Michael.
Martin Prado
@GreedyStripes how about get back Martin Prado Yankees paying half his salary anyways?

Another rental and another familiar face. The tweet does
pose an interesting line of thinking, we are paying the many already so why
not? Here’s a better question, why not Robert Refsnyder?
Staying Put
@GreedyStripes I'd rather stay put as of now. I'd say rotation help but Nova will be back soon enough.

This I normally can get behind but the window for THIS team
to win is 2015 and it closes next season. While I don’t want to sacrifice the
future for a playoff run in 2015 I think the team needs to take advantage of a
weak AL East division and get the necessary pieces to hold off the Rays and the
Blue Jays. I really don’t want to wait until the 2017 or 2018 season to make
the playoffs again.
@GreedyStripes I think they'll nickel and dime it...a Prado here, a McCarthy there
