However, according to a recent report from Andy Martino of SNY, the Yankees were interested in trading for Helsley. Martino noted that the Yankees attempted to trade for the right-hander, but the Cardinals were looking for Spencer Jones, Ben Rice, or Jasson Dominguez.

The New York Mets quickly countered the Philadelphia Phillies' acquisition by grabbing Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals, per reports.
