Brian Cashman, after leaving himself an offseason mess, tried his best to clean up his own thing at the Yankees' midseason trade deadline. He revamped the bullpen, adding David Bednar, Camilo Doval, and Jake Bird. He built the bench, importing Austin Slater and Amed Rosario. He maybe netted himself a starting shortstop in Jose Caballero? He changed the complexion of third base with Ryan McMahon.
Yet, somehow, despite doing probably the best work he could've hoped to, the Yankees' impressive record since the deadline has very little to do with most of these guys.
