Tuesday evening saw the New York Yankees remain largely uninvolved at the trade deadline. Despite the team’s need for outfield support and an above-average bat to bolster their ranks, the Yankees let the deadline pass without making any significant additions.
The Yankees are clearly in need of an offensive boost. An alternative strategy could have been selling off some of their temporary players in exchange for adding prospects to their farm system. However, their sole move of the evening was acquiring right-handed reliever Keynan Middleton from the Chicago White Sox.
