The New York Yankees are one of the biggest brands in professional sports, and they’ll look to capture a 28th World Series banner this year. It’s been somewhat of a dry spell for the Bronx Bombers, who haven’t won a World Series since 2009 and have found themselves in and out of contender status.
Not only are the Yankees owners of the second-best record in baseball at 70-34, but they’ve also been active ahead of the trade deadline, looking to bolster different facets of their club.
The AL East is all but locked up for the Yanks, who currently own a 12-game lead over the second-place Toronto Blue Jays, yet they still felt the need to upgrade their rotation and add depth pieces to their lineup.
