TThe New York Yankees will attempt to drop their payroll below the $197 million luxury tax threshold next season. Hal Steinbrenner has demanded it and Brian Cashman publicly vowed to make it happen.

The Yankees could trade Dellin Betances and Adam Warren to clear salary.

Betances and Warren combined for 117 innings and a 2.62 ERA, but the emergence of Chad Green and the acquisitions of Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson make them more expendable. 

MLB Trade Rumors projected Betances’ 2018 salary at $4.4 million and Warren’s at $3.1 million.
