Yankees revamp bullpen with trades for Pirates' David Bednar, Giants' Camilo Doval, Rockies' Jake Bird
The New York Yankees have bolstered their bullpen with a series of trades, acquiring relief pitchers David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants, and Jake Bird from the Colorado Rockies. Bednar, a 28-year-old right-hander, is considered one of the best closers in the league and is under team control through the 2026 season. Doval, a 25-year-old right-hander, has emerged as a dominant setup man for the Giants. Bird, a 24-year-old right-hander, is a promising young reliever who is under contract through 2028. These trades are seen as a strategic move by the Yankees to bolster their bullpen and improve their chances of winning the World Series. The acquired pitchers are expected to provide depth and stability to the Yankees' relief corps, which has been a point of concern for the team in recent seasons.
