The New York Yankees entered the 2025 MLB trade deadline needing to add ... I don't know, something absurd like three high-upside bullpen arms, a starting third baseman, and bench bats who could platoon and make the whole roster fit a lot better. How could they manage to do all that and survive?
Well ... somehow, they managed. They opted to bank on Luis Gil and Ryan Yarbrough returning to the rotation instead of upgrading that unit, but very few starters actually moved across the league. Zack Littell and Merrill Kelly (for a haul) shifted scenery.
