With 10 minutes prior to the MLB Trade Deadline at 6pm ET, the Yankees were the only one of the 30 teams to not complete a deal in July. It looked like they might be completely inactive at the deadline, but right at the buzzer, they’ve added a relief pitcher. It fits in perfectly with the chatter around the front office we’ve been hearing all day that the team wouldn’t sell much but would only “soft buy.”
Well, Keynan Middleton is just about the the definition of a “soft buy.” The White Sox reliever is coming to the Bronx, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
