MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?

This was a strong deadline for the Yankees, who filled three glaring holes on their roster: third base, the bench and the bullpen. Perhaps GM Brian Cashman could’ve added a starting pitcher, but it seems like that market was quite steep this year, so Cashman opted to go all-in on relievers. Bird, Bednar and Doval all have additional years of control remaining, which is important considering that New York’s two best relievers, Luke Weaver and Devin Williams, are free agents this winter. The Yankees also completely renovated their bench, swapping out JC Escarra (optioned), Jorbit Vivas (optioned) and Oswald Peraza (traded) for Rosario, Slater and Caballero. That’s a nice upgrade.
