With the disappearance of the post-waiver trade deadline, teams have become increasingly crafty in the way they add to their rosters for the postseason push. We recently saw the Yankees trade for left-handed relief pitcher Joe Mantiply, who wasn’t on the Reds 40-man roster — thus facilitating the deal.
Unfortunately for Mantiply, both he and the recently promoted Brady Lail were designated for assignment after only one outing apiece.
A flurry of roster moves pertaining to pitchers continues, as the Yanks sent Chance Adams and Adonis Garcia back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre — and reinstated No. 6 prospect Jonathan Loaisiga from the 60-day IL.
