On Thursday, the New York Yankees were deemed one of the biggest winners of the trade deadline, acquiring all of Ryan McMahon, Austin Slater, David Bednar, Jake Bird, Jose Caballero and Camilo Doval. They also shipped Oswald Peraza to the LA Angels.
But everyone knew something else was coming on Friday once the team was prepared to make the roster moves official. And it has arrived. Marcus Stroman has been released to accommodate the newcomers.
This means the Yankees will be rightfully prioritizing Cam Schlittler moving forward as they look to get back atop the AL East.
