The Yankees released starting pitcher Marcus Stroman after being active in solidifying their staff with a flurry of trade deadline deals.

With the Yankees needing help in the bullpen, the team will get David Bednar in a trade with the Pirates before the 2025 deadline.

The biggest reason the Yankees were the winners of the MLB trade deadline was their bullpen additions. They picked up Camilo Doval, David Bednar, and Jake Bird. Devin Williams has struggled this year, and Tim Hill has the most appearances in the AL. Refreshing the bullpen was a must, and Brian Cashman did it.
