With the Yankees needing help in the bullpen, the team will get David Bednar in a trade with the Pirates before the 2025 deadline.

MIAMI — The Yankees are done with Marcus Stroman. Even after not landing a starting pitcher before Thursday’s trade deadline, the Yankees made the decision Friday to cut Stroman, releasing him from the roster and eating the $5-plus million left on his contract.

The biggest reason the Yankees were the winners of the MLB trade deadline was their bullpen additions. They picked up Camilo Doval, David Bednar, and Jake Bird. Devin Williams has struggled this year, and Tim Hill has the most appearances in the AL. Refreshing the bullpen was a must, and Brian Cashman did it.
