Rays’ Amed Rosario open to Yankees trade as infield boost: ‘Why not?’

Two straight losses to Tampa Bay, with the Yankees sliding in the AL East standings and seeing their lead dwindle in the wild-card race, has provided further evidence that there need to be some improvements by the July 30 trade deadline.

And Aaron Judge, who said at the All-Star Game last week the Yankees are ready to “take any help we can get” by the deadline, said again this weekend he wouldn’t mind some changes.

“As a player, you’d love to add a couple new pieces to rejuvenate the team and get guys pumped up,’’ Judge said.

Judge declined to get into specifics, saying, “We’ve got quite a few guys coming back from injuries and that’s always helpful. We were rolling before the injuries got us, so with other smaller pieces, we should be good. That’s for the front office to figure out.”

There have been plenty of potential targets across the field this weekend at Yankee Stadium, with the Rays hovering around .500 for most of the year.

One player the Yankees had their eyes on during the offseason, as The Post’s Joel Sherman reported at the time, was ex-Met Amed Rosario.

Rosario ended up signing with Tampa Bay, and the Yankees eventually traded for Miami’s Jon Berti in a three-team deal with the Rays.

Berti, though, has been sidelined with a strained calf and recently suffered a setback in his recovery.

Asked about a possible return to New York, Rosario said he’s not paying attention to trade rumors, but he would be excited by it.

“Why not?” Rosario said. “The Mets [gave] me an opportunity, and if somebody says they don’t want to play in New York, it’s not true. Everybody wants to play for the Yankees.”

Rosario came up with the Mets as a top prospect before being traded to Cleveland in the blockbuster deal for Francisco Lindor.

The 28-year-old Rosario has played second base, third and shortstop — as well as right field — for the Rays this season and said he enjoyed being under the spotlight in New York.

“It’s different,’’ Rosario said. “It’s a big market, the stadium is always full. I like it. Feeling pressure is good for me. I love playing in New York.”

The Rays also have some bullpen arms the Yankees could be interested in, as well as another versatile player like Brandon Lowe or third baseman Isaac Paredes.

As DJ LeMahieu flounders at third base — having been held out of the lineup Sunday and not guaranteed a spot on Monday, according to Aaron Boone — and Gleyber Torres continues his season-long funk, the Yankee infield looks in need of at least one upgrade.
