As the 2015 trade deadline looms the Yankees are likely to make at least a couple of moves. If history tells us anything it's that the Yankees are adept at netting a deadline superstar.
During the Yankees' run of success from the mid 1990s into the 2000s, they often used the trade deadline to their advantage. In the world of expanded playoffs, a smart deadline acquisition that bolsters the roster can be even more important and mean the difference between a World Series run and a disappointing early exit. Let's hope the Yankees can swing a deal similar to these over the next 10 days or so.
