Yankees bolster AL's best bullpen, beat out rivals in deal for Britton

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Foremost in Brian Cashman's focus much of this past year has been his desire to get one specific thing for his team: outside pitching help.

With Zach Britton now coming into the fold, it's safe to say the New York Yankees general manager's mission is -- in part, at least -- accomplished. In the process of doing that, he also made life a little more difficult for a pair of key American League foes.

That's a win-win. New York's playoff push has officially begun.
