Forget any creative names for where the Yankees currently stand, especially not after getting swept by the surging Miami Marlins. Aaron Boone’s club now occupies third place in the AL East and barely holds the AL’s second Wild Card spot; the Seattle Mariners are half a game behind the free-falling Yankees.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman “orchestrated a tour de force ” at the MLB trade deadline, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Although he did not add a starting pitcher, Cashman added seven total players while addressing several areas of need for the Yankees, who enter Friday 3 1/2 games back of the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East.

The New York Yankees needed to add starting pitching at the trade deadline, but they didn't get any. Still, the Bronx Bombers had a solid trade deadline.
