The Yankees drew a lot of praise for their deadline maneuvering, but one troubling aspect is being overlooked.
There was a lot to like about the New York Yankees' trade deadline performance. The club addressed clear needs; filling a massive hole at the hot corner, revamping the bullpen on the fly, and fortifying the bench with some legitimately useful role players and depth options.
That has led many to proclaim that they are one of the deadline's big winners, even if we're still not convinced that Jake Bird was a necessary addition.
