They're hanging out in Arizona.
The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are scouting the same two starting pitchers.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the AL East rivals have sent their scouts to Arizona ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
The Yankees and Red Sox are keeping their eyes on Diamondbacks right-handed pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly.
Nightengale adds that the Yanks are watching third baseman Eugenio Suarez, which is no surprise.
The pitchers could be key pickups for both New York and Boston.

Gallen is more in his prime, but he has struggled this season after looking like one of the best pitchers in baseball over the couple seasons prior.
Kelly is an elder statesman who doesn't look like he's slowing down.
It'd be ironic if one went to the Yankees and the other to the Red Sox. It's hard to imagine one team landing both, though. So stay tuned on this trade competition between rivals.
