The MLB Trade Deadline is tomorrow, and since it's been very quiet on the news front around the league outside of the Andrew Benintendi and Luis Castillo trades, today and tomorrow were bound to be full of activity. The Yankees themselves seemed likely to not settle for just Benintendi, and shortly after noon on Monday, they made a move.
The Yankees' bullpen was a serious strength in the first half of the season, with Clay Holmes putting together an All-Star season and Michael King in the All-Star conversation as well. The past month has not been kind to either top hurler though; Holmes has hit his first roadblock as Yankees closer as he battled command issues for the majority of July and blew some saves, and King went down for the year with an awful elbow injury.
