Random Man Says Yankees Could Be Close to Trading Miguel Andujar
The New York Yankees have already had an eventful offseason up to this point and may not be done making moves.
Trade rumors have circled the team and one Twitter user has suggested Miguel Andujar may be on the verge of being traded.
Checking medicals before a trade is not common unless the player being moved had a serious injury which Andujar did....my guess the interested team wants to check out the medicals before advancing trade talks https://t.co/0bOezuHuWO

The user known as Bobby Milone quoted a tweet from the Greedy Pinstripes account with news that the Yankees had "pulled paperwork" on a player. That tweet indicated the player is not J.A. Happ, whose name has been involved in rumors all offseason.
Hearing the Yankees just "pulled paperwork" on a certain player, which is generally the precursor to a trade.

Sometimes these things take hours, other times it takes days.
It's a pretty big name in my opinion, and it's not JA Happ.
Andjuar had shoulder surgery last May, which is how the conclusion was reached by Milone. His theory is that a team wants to check out his medical records before making a trade. That could mean a trade is imminent if Andjuar's health is alright.
The young third baseman had only had one full season with the Yankees. The team may be more comfortable with Giovanny Urshela holding down the hot corner after his 3.4 WAR year in 2019.
Right now this is just speculation. Yet, it is worth noting and if it does become true, Milone and Greedy Pinstripes will become much more reliable sources in the Yankees Twitter world.
