With the Yankees needing help in the bullpen, the team will get David Bednar in a trade with the Pirates before the 2025 deadline.

Fortunately for the new Yankees, an Anthony Volpe homer tied the game again in the eighth inning and a ninth-inning rally gave them a two-run lead. Two more trade deadline acquisitions, third baseman Ryan McMahon and Caballero, scored those ninth-inning runs.

Bednar becomes the Yankees' top reliever in terms of average fastball velocity. He is under club control through the 2026 season.
