Imramet asks: Is there a single deadline deal where you thought the Yankees should have topped the offer?
I think the only enticing deal that the Yankees had their eyes on was the Mike Clevinger to San Diego trade, but I wouldn’t choose that personally. While it does fit the team’s greatest need in starting pitching — and for a controllable, quality starter to boot — the price tag that the Yankees would’ve had to beat was already pretty high.
