Relief pitchers tend to be a need for teams around MLB's trade deadline as contenders gear up to make an October run -- and 2025 was no different. The New York Yankees added a trio of relievers in David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants and Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies to help a bullpen that had posted a 4.89 ERA over the previous two months.
The three relievers debuted last Friday -- and delivered a disaster of "Cutthroat Island" proportions against the Miami Marlins.
