The New York Yankees are doing whatever it takes to make a run to the postseason.

A day after trading for Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers, the Yankees made another splash on Thursday evening. New York acquired Anthony Rizzo from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Class-A right-hander Alexander Vizcaino and rookie-level outfielder Kevin Alcantara.
