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.

The Yankees have subtracted from their rotation one day after being unable to add a starter at the trade deadline. New York released veteran righty Marcus Stroman on Friday, the team announced. It was part of a series of moves to get the club's deadline additions, including relievers David Bednar and Camilo Doval, on the active roster.
