NextImg:Yankees working on trade with Dodgers to rebuild bullpen depth

After trading away seven pitchers in a pair of trades last week, the Yankees were trying to complete a deal Sunday to get at least one in return.

The Yankees and Dodgers had a two-for-one trade agreed upon Sunday, The Post’s Joel Sherman reported, though it was still going through the medical-review stage before it was finalized.

The names involved in the deal were not immediately known, but the expectation was that the Yankees would receive an end-of-roster pitcher and a prospect — both on the Dodgers’ 40-man roster — and send a non-40-man prospect to Los Angeles.

The Dodgers were trying to clear two spots on their 40-man roster for Shohei Ohtani, fresh off agreeing to a 10-year, $700 million contract, and reliever Joe Kelly.

The Yankees entered the offseason with solid upper-level pitching depth but it took a hit last week through trades and the Rule 5 draft.

They lost four starting arms — Michael King, Drew Thorpe, Randy Vasquez and Jhony Brito — to help land Juan Soto and Trent Grisham from the Padres.

Before that, they gave up reliever Greg Weissert, starting prospect Richard Fitts and minor league reliever Nicholas Judice to acquire Alex Verdugo from the Red Sox.

And in between, they saw starters Mitch Spence and Matt Sauer and reliever Carson Coleman swiped in the Rule 5 draft after leaving them unprotected off their 40-man roster.
